Directions

Ono Fish

Season fillets of Ono (Wahoo) with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large sauté pan until smoking lightly. Add oil and fish.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turn over and pour deglazing liquid directly over fish.
Continue cooking until liquid is almost dry (should take about 1-2 minutes). Turn off heat and set aside.

Rice

Heat a large sauté pan and coat with the oil. Add the fresh garlic and cook until light brown (about 30 seconds).
Add the cooked rice, salt and pepper, sesame seeds and the green onions. Cook and mix in pan for about 2 minutes.

Strawberry Papaya Salsa

Mix all ingredients and set aside in refrigerator.

Garnishes

Peel plantain and slice lengthwise into paper thin strips. Brush with vanilla and fry in oil until light brown.
Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Dust with cinnamon and sugar.
Fry the red bell pepper in the hot oil until the skin is black. Wrap in plastic wrap for 10 minutes.
Remove and peel off the black skin. Cut into diamond shapes.

Plating

Using a 12 to 13 inch plate, place the rice in the middle, lay the fish on top. Cover the fish with the salsa, add fresh cilantro sprig on top of salsa.
Place red bell pepper diamond shapes in each corner of rice. Top with vanilla sugar plantain.
