FIRE-KISSED STARFISH WITH HERBAL GOLD
Lightly Grilled | Herbal Ghee & EVOO Drizzle | Paleo | Gluten-Free | Coastal Healing Cuisine
OVERVIEW
A rare and radiant sea delicacy, fresh starfish is lightly grilled to preserve its subtle, oceanic flavor, then bathed in a warm, flowing infusion of herbal ghee, EVOO, and gluten-free butter. Finished with sea herbs and citrus zest, this is a dish that channels the essence of ocean, flame, and healing fat in one deeply satisfying bite.
Served best as part of a slow-tasting ritual or plated alongside earthy grains or lemony greens.
INGREDIENTS
Core
• 1–2 fresh edible starfish, cleaned and prepped properly for safe consumption
• Pinch of coarse sea salt
• Juice of half a lemon
Herbal Infused Butter-Ghee-EVOO
• 1 tbsp organic grass-fed gluten-free ghee
• 1 tbsp cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp clean unsalted gluten-free butter (for body and flavor)
• 1/4 tsp crushed rosemary
• 1/4 tsp thyme
• Tiny pinch dried oregano
• Fresh lemon zest
• Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or turmeric for color
PREPARATION
1. Starfish Prep
• Ensure your starfish is from a reputable source and pre-boiled or par-cooked (this step is essential to soften and detoxify)
• Pat dry and gently brush with a light coating of olive oil + lemon juice + salt
2. Grill it Lightly
• Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high
• Grill starfish 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently to create char lines without drying
• The goal is lightly smoky, tender, not brittle
3. Infuse the Fat
• In a small pan, melt ghee, EVOO, and butter over low heat
• Add herbs and let steep for 3–5 minutes until fragrant
• Remove from heat and add lemon zest at the end
4. Plate & Drizzle
• Place grilled starfish on a warm plate or banana leaf
• Generously drizzle with warm herbal infusion
• Finish with a final brush of ghee and a few flecks of sea salt
TO SERVE
• Best enjoyed slowly—eating starfish is ceremonial, using shellfish picks or fingers
• Serve with:
• Grilled citrus wedges
• Pickled kelp or sea fennel
• Wild rice or toasted quinoa
• Light white wine or sparkling jasmine water
FLAVOR PROFILE
• Oceanic, earthy, rich

BENEFITS
• Ghee + EVOO = powerful anti-inflammatory, digestive synergy
