## Instructions

1. Viscerate and scale the redfish, then make 2 fillets, removing any remaining thorns and skin.
2. In a mixer, add taggiasca olives, capers, quality anchovies, parsley, pine nuts, and white bread.
3. Add the redfish fillets to the mixer (or chop them finely) and adjust salt.
4. Blend until a compact but closeable texture is achieved, adding a dash of cream if necessary.
5. Boil the outer leaves of a cabbage for about 1 minute, then cool them in freezing water to block the color.
6. Once cooled and dried, arrange the cabbage leaves on a small bowl lined with film.
7. Insert the filling, pressing lightly, and close the film tightly to form a compact bundle.
8. Steam the bundles for about 15 minutes or until they reach a core temperature of 62 degrees Celsius.
9. Slightly burn the redfish's head and bone.
10. Add shallots and garlic to the head and bone, then deglaze with white wine.
11. Once the wine has evaporated, add the tomato paste and fill the pot with cold water.
12. Reduce the broth by 50%, then filter it and reduce the sauce again until it reaches the desired consistency.
13. Over low heat, add cherry tomatoes, remaining parsley, remaining olives, and adjust the salt.
14. Plate by arranging abundant guazzetto at the base of the dish.
15. Add the redfish bundle to the center of the plate.
