Chef Giuseppe Mulargia of the FH55 Grand Hotel Palatino in Rome proposes a surprising creation, encapsulating the true essence of the season through simple yet expertly elevated ingredients.<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The protagonist is the amberjack, a prized fish with firm and delicate flesh, <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/recipe-fettuccine-cacio-e-pepe-red-prawn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lightly seared to preserve its tenderness and flavor<\/a>. Accompanying it is the sweet juiciness of nectarine peaches, marinated with fresh thyme, extra virgin olive oil, and a subtle touch of rice vinegar which enhances their natural freshness. The fennel, gently braised and simmered with orange juice, adds citrusy notes and a pleasant crunchy texture, while the caper powder\u2014obtained by dehydrating desalted capers\u2014provides an intense, savory depth which completes the dish with elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amberjack with Thyme-Marinated Peach, Orange-Braised Fennel, and Caper Powder<\/strong>: a recipe which tells the story of the Mediterranean through harmonious contrasts. The sweetness of summer fruit, the freshness of aromatic herbs, the delicacy of the fish, and the vibrant brightness of citrus fruits blend into a light yet character-rich gastronomic experience, ideal for the warmest days.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-3.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_1\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 3<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1.jpg\" title=\"Amberjack Recipe by Chef Giuseppe Mulargia\"  data-caption=\"A refined summer Amberjack Recipe by Chef Giuseppe Mulargia, featuring seared fish, thyme-marinated peaches, and orange-braised fennel.\"  data-description=\"\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ricciola-pesca-marinata-al-timo-finocchio-brasato-allarancia-e-polvere-di-cappero-1-696x522.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" alt=\"Gourmet Amberjack Recipe dish with peaches and fennel at FH55 Grand Hotel Palatino Rome.\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px;

After drying them well, they are arranged on a baking sheet and dehydrated in the oven at 100\u00b0C (212\u00b0F) until completely dry and crumbly. Finally, they are finely chopped with a knife or a blender to obtain a fine powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For the Thyme-Marinated Peaches<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The peaches are washed (keeping the skin if desired) and cut into regular cubes. Once transferred to a bowl, they are seasoned with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, a splash of rice vinegar, and a few fresh thyme leaves. The bowl is then covered with plastic wrap and left to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20\u201330 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For the Orange-Braised Fennel<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The fennel is cleaned by removing the tougher outer layers and the base, and then cut into uniform wedges. It is seared in a pan with a little extra virgin olive oil over medium heat, letting it soften while maintaining a slight crunch. Any excess oil is drained before pouring in the strained juice of the orange, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly to concentrate the flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For the Amberjack<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The amberjack fillets are divided into equal portions and seasoned lightly with salt. A drizzle of oil is heated in a pan, and once very hot, the fish is placed in the pan. It is cooked over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, ensuring the surface does not burn and the flesh remains tender and juicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The well-drained marinated peaches are arranged at the base of the plate, followed by the orange-braised fennel wedges, upon which the freshly cooked amberjack is placed. The presentation is completed with a dusting of caper powder, which adds a beautiful contrast of sapidity and aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chef\u2019s Tips for a Refined Amberjack Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the remaining peach pulp, it is possible to prepare a delicious summer mayonnaise: the pulp is blended using an immersion blender while drizzling in seed oil until the desired creamy consistency is achieved. After adjusting with salt and pepper, it can be served as an accompaniment to enrich the dish further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhhotelgroup.it\/en\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grand Hotel Palatino<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/example.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amberjack Tartare with Citrus Gel\u00e9e and Taggiasca Olive Soil \u2013 A Gourmet <strong>Amberjack Recipe<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A refined Amberjack Recipe dedicated to the Italian summer, its most authentic colors, and aromas.
