Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a pan. At the same time, dab the 4 zander fillets a little dry and season with a little salt and pepper. Wrap the fish pieces with the 8 slices of bacon and then fry directly on the skin side for about 5 minutes, over a high heat, until crispy. Finally, turn the pike-perch over. Add the 40 g butter and the rosemary sprig. Finally, let the fish cook for a few minutes.
Step 2
Bring 250 ml chicken stock to the boil in a saucepan and boil 150 g primal corn until soft. Then heat 20 g butter and sweat the diced shallot. After a short time, add the soft-boiled rice and then 20 ml white wine and the remaining 150 ml chicken stock. Then stir everything together with grated cheese and 40 g butter to make a creamy risotto. Finally, season with lemon zest, 1 tsp chopped parsley, 1 pinch Melange Noir, 1 pinch sweet paprika powder and salt.

First prepare the asparagus and cut off the ends. Meanwhile, heat a pan with 30 g butter and sauté the asparagus. Directly add some salt and sugar to taste. After a short cooking time, deglaze with a splash of mirin and 40 ml mineral water and continue roasting. Finally, let the asparagus colour a little, add 1 tsp olive oil, 20 g chopped hazelnuts, orange zest and finely chopped young leeks and season to taste.
Step 4
For the Buerre Blanc, reduce 100 ml white wine with 5 g fennel seeds, 10 peppercorns, 3 juniper berries and 2 shallots (cut into strips) until there is almost no liquid left in the pot. Then bring the mixture to the boil with 80 ml cream and assemble the sauce with 70 g cold butter and 40 g crème fraîche. Then add 100 ml poultry stock to the butter sauce and mix vigorously with a blender. Finally, strain the sauce and season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne.
