Instructions:
- Season the fish with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill the fish on a high heat until it reaches the desired level of doneness. Place Sweet Corn Salad on 6 plates, then place the grilled fish on top. Decorate each fish portion with Herb Roasted Tomatoes slices and Eggplant Caviar.
- Serve promptly.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook corn, onions, and oil for 1 minute. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Let it cool down. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
- Preheat the oven to 275°F.
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until they are evenly coated. Arrange them in a single layer on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake until they become moist and dried, which takes about 2 hours.
- Allow it to cool completely and then store in airtight containers.
- In a colander, coat the eggplant slices with 1 tablespoon of salt, cover with a plate and let it drain for 30 minutes. Rinse the slices under cold running water and pat them dry. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the eggplant slices with oil, then grill for about 3 minutes per side until tender. Repeat with the remaining slices and let them cool. Once cooled, dice the eggplant slices and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
