This stunning pan-fried zander recipe is served with a cooling 'kohlrabi water' and dusted in caper powder for a fresh, bright starter perfect for a sunny day.
Start by making the caper powder, at least 8 hours in advance for serving. Rinse the salt from the capers, pat dry then dehydrate in the oven at 75°C for 8 hours (or use a dehydrator). Once completely dehydrated, add to a spice grinder or blender and blitz to a fine powder
Roughly chop the kohlrabi into pieces and pass through a cold press juicer. If you don't have one, blitz in a blender then filter using a small mesh strainer lined with muslin cloth, squeezing to extract all the liquid
Season the zander fillets with salt and place skin-side down in a pan over a medium heat with a dash of oil. Fry until cooked through, dusting lightly in caper powder as it cooks

Working with Italian legend Gualtiero Marchesi and Le Manoir’s Raymond Blanc made Riccardo Camanini see cooking as more than just a job – it became a passion.
