1

Mix water and milk in a pan, half and half, and season with salt.

2

In a second pan, mix water, white vinegar, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and sugar to create a sweet pickle brine.

3

Peel the salsify and cut the sides out, keeping a nice piece for garnish and chopping the rest for puree.

4

Place the whole piece of salsify in the pickle brine and the chopped part in the milk to cook.

5

Squeeze one lemon and mix it with water, turmeric, salt, and sugar, then bring it to a boil to prepare the poached pear.

6

Peel the pear and cut it into quarters, then add it to the boiling mixture and cook on low heat (around 80 degrees Celsius) until soft.

7

Mix panko bread crumbs and grated parmesan (3 parts panko to 1 part parmesan), season with black pepper, and bake on baking paper in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown.

8

Blend the cooked salsify with a little double cream until smooth, then pass it through a sieve to check the seasoning.

9

Roast walnuts in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 5 minutes, then mix with milk, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil to make walnut foam.

10

Dry the cooked salsify, cut it in half, and roast in a pan on medium heat until nicely colored.

11

Season the cod and place it in the steamer for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the fish and power of the steamer.

12

Cut the middle part and sides out of the pears after they are cooked, and prepare for plating.

13

Take the cod out of the steamer, place the parmesan crust on top, and proceed to plate.
