Tips and Tricks

Variations
- Swap snapper for fluke, hamachi, or sea bream.
- Add shaved fennel or microgreens for extra freshness and height.
Substitutions

Best served with
- Chilled white wine like Vermentino or Sauvignon Blanc

How to Store Leftovers

Common Questions
Can I prep this ahead of time?
Yes-cure the fish and prep the veg in advance. Slice and assemble right before serving.
Is the balsamic overpowering?
Not if you use the good stuff. The acidity softens the fish, while the sweetness balances everything out.
