Bitter Greens, Spring Onions, Salted Mackerel Vinaigrette
One of our favorite dishes at the new restaurant Amass by Chef Matt Orlando, former head chef of Noma. A great combination of flavors and innovative presentation. The spring onions are charred on the barbecue, then, together with a mackerel vinaigrette, wrapped in a chard leaf. Everything is garnished with greens from the beach.
