Blackened Snapper, Butter Poached Potatoes, Mandarin Butter Sauce and Dill Oil

Dan: "I bring you snapper with Chinese five-spice powder and squash. My dad was a big fan of blackened fish. I did some butter poached potatoes with some mandarin butter sauce, dill oil, and then some pickle."

Judges, behind the scenes

"This is my favorite dish today."

"It's comforting."

"The potato was creamy. I thought it was delicious. Overall, the juiciest piece of fish that I've had."

"I actually like that he's moved away from the traditional form of blackening. I like chinese five spice."
