Local red mullet (Sultan Ibrahim) with red wine reduction

So as I was saying, I kept the red wine cooking liquor used to cook the octopus in the previous post to play around with.  I reduced it to a sauce consistency, added a touch of salt, sherry vinegar and sugar to balance at the very end and it tasted to me like it would work perfectly with our beautiful local red mullet.

A very simple dish as you can see, salt baked potato, herb salad (parsley, mint, sumac etc), that sticky red sauce and the freshest of red mullet only just cooked.  I can tell you with all honesty the flavours defied the simple presentation.  Complex yet fresh and light, it was SUPERB.
