Base recipe = 2 servings.
360 g turbot fillets
500 g potatoes
150 g green tomato
20 g anchovies
20 g Italian parsley
30 g butter
15 ml extra virgin olive oil
10 g garlic
20 ml lemon juice
10 g Dijon mustard
20 g all-purpose flour (for light dusting)
Sea salt, to taste
Method
Bake the sliced potatoes with butter between parchment at 350°F / 175°C until tender and lightly golden.
Blend the green tomato, anchovy, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, and olive oil into a smooth and vibrant sauce.
Lightly flour the turbot fillets and sear them gently until golden on the outside.
Finish the fish in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until just cooked through and still delicate.
Plate the butter-baked potatoes first, place the fish on top, and finish with the green tomato anchovy sauce and fresh parsley.
Chef’s Note: Turbot is delicate and elegant, so avoid aggressive heat. A gentle sear and careful finish preserve the texture while letting the anchovy and green tomato sauce add brightness and depth.
