The recipes are also available as a downloadable brochure on FPI’s website.
Each recipe was judged on creativity, marketability, use of other represented brands and products, and overall presentation appeal. Each recipe winner will receive a hand-picked selection of culinary tools, plating utensils, and Global® brand cutlery, personally selected by Chef Tilley.
FireRoasters is a full line of fully-prepared, thick-cut salmon, tilapia and cod fillets that have been flame-roasted and seasoned to perfection through FPI’s unique process, offering operators a profitable, highly popular flavor profile that eliminates the high cost and complexity of preparing fire-roasted seafood from scratch.
