In part 3 of our interview with Matthew McCallister, executive chef at Stephan Pyles, he shows us how to create a cooling fish dish perfect for these sweltering summer days: Stephan Pyles' Lenguado Ceviche. It's a fairly straightforward to prepare, but one note: It requires fresh, smoked corn, so you'll either needed an outdoor smoker of some sort -- a grill and smoking pan, for instance -- or one of these nifty indoor smokers.

2 tablespoons roasted corn kernels
2 tablespoons roasted sweet potato 1/16-inch dice
12 oz. fresh sole
1 ½ oz. fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
2 oz. smoked corn vinaigrette (recipe follows)
