Fish medallions and gratinated vegetables.
Another trick to make a single dish by pairing the fish with the fibers of tomatoes and zucchini, and the carbohydrates of potatoes.
For this dish, you can use any fish cut, such as tuna, swordfish, or imperial needlefish, which is exactly what I used.
We will cook our medallions in the oven or in an air fryer.

Preparation of Fish Medallions and Gratinated Vegetables
Let’s start with the cuts,

Season with salt and pepper and let it rest
for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, let’s prepare the vegetables.
Cut the tomatoes into pieces and sprinkle
with oregano, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Slice the zucchini thinly, season them like the tomatoes but add mint.
Cut the potatoes very thinly as well, add oil, salt, pepper, sage, and rosemary
Once everything is cut and seasoned, place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray and form rings with the cherry tomatoes.
Using a pastry cutter, place it in the center and arrange the fish in a circular and compact shape.
Place alternate slices of zucchini and potatoes on the fish, and bake in a fan oven at 356°F for 4 minutes.
Then, remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle with pecorino, grill at 392°F for 3 minutes
Serve hot. Here are your Fish Medallions and Gratinated Vegetables ready.
