Method
 

Cure the Snapper
  1. In a shallow container, pour 3 tablespoon Bona Furtuna Aged Balsamic over the snapper fillet—just enough to coat. Flip and brush evenly.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Prepare the Garnish
  1. Peel the carrot into ribbons. Slice the scallion thinly on a bias.
  2. Transfer both to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to crisp. Drain and pat dry.
Slice the Snapper
  1. Remove the cured snapper from the fridge. Slice thinly (about ⅛") on an angle and arrange in the center of a chilled plate.
Toss the Garnish
  1. In a bowl, combine carrot ribbons, scallions, and parsley.
  2. Toss with 1 tablespoon Bona Furtuna 12-Year Balsamic and 1 tablespoon EVOO. Season with flaky salt.
  3. Plate the garnish beside or atop the snapper.
Finish & Serve
  1. Dot the plate with Bona Furtuna 24-Year Aged Balsamic and a final hit of flaky salt. Serve immediately.
