pan seared great lakes pike, concassé grape tomatoes, sausage, croutons, grilled cantaloupe gazpacho at Ceres' Table
pan seared great lakes pike, concassé grape tomatoes, sausage, croutons, grilled cantaloupe gazpacho ($24)
Pike is always a good choice of fish here in the Midwest. The base of the dish is an unexpected grilled cantaloupe gazpacho, layered with concaseé grape tomatoes from the Leaning Shed Farm, and garlicky croutons. The fish is sauteéd so that the skin is crispy, and the dish is sprinkled with crumbled Italian sausage, which provides a salty countepoint to the sweetness of the tomatoes and gazpacho (vegetarians can order the dish without sausage). It's a summery dish.
Pairing: sauvignon blanc
