Ingredients

• 1 kg fish fillets (any white fish)
• 6 medium zucchinis
• 6 medium potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 1 cup boiled or canned corn

Fish Marinade:

• 1 tbsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp white pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ginger powder
• Chopped dill (optional)

Potato Puree Seasoning:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp white pepper
• Salt to taste
• 3 tbsp flour
• 1 cup milk

Caramelized Onion Topping:

• Olive oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• Salt & white pepper
• Chopped dill

Tahini Sauce:

• ½ cup tahini
• 1 cup water
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1 fish stock cube
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the fish fillets with vinegar, olive oil, white pepper, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and dill. Place in the oven and bake until cooked through.
2. Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Set the shells aside. Grill or bake the zucchini halves for about 10 minutes.
3. Peel and boil the potatoes. Boil the scooped zucchini flesh separately. Once cooked, mash the potatoes and zucchini flesh together. Prepare the puree seasoning by melting butter, adding flour, then gradually whisking in milk, white pepper, and salt until creamy. Mix into the mash.
4. Stuff the zucchini boats with the potato-zucchini puree. Top with caramelized onions and corn (sauté onion with olive oil and sugar until golden, then add corn, vinegar, salt, and dill for 5 minutes).
5. Prepare the tahini sauce: In a small pot, combine tahini, water, lemon juice, fish stock cube, and salt. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened. Drizzle over the dish before serving.

Tips for Success

• Use fresh white fish fillets for the best texture and flavor.
• Don’t overcook the zucchini so they hold their shape when stuffed.
• For a smoother puree, mash while still warm.
• Adjust the tahini sauce consistency by adding more water if needed.
• Serve immediately while everything is hot for the best experience.
