Preparation of Imperial Horse Mackerel with Pomegranate Juice

A good recipe starts with quality ingredients.
Ensure the fish is fresh and has been blast-chilled.
Remove the head, the innards, and then fillet it.
Deseed the pomegranates, collect the seeds, and blend them in a processor.
If you have a Thermomix, it takes 4 seconds at speed 10.
Strain the obtained juice, ensuring there are no impurities.
Place the fillets in a dish and pour over the pomegranate juice.
Add whole parsley and thyme.
Grate some lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper.
Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours with plastic wrap on top.
Typically, the marinating process takes less time, but pomegranate is not as acidic as citrus fruits, so it needs more time.
Serve fresh but not straight from the fridge, accompanied by a good chilled dry sparkling wine.
