Turbot with Champagne sauce
METHOD
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Pat the turbot dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides and inside the cavity.
Cooking:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Heat the olive oil and 50g of butter in a large, oven-safe pan over medium heat.
- Add the turbot and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Carefully transfer the turbot to a roasting dish. Do not clean the pan after cooking!
- Roast the turbot in the oven for 15–20 minutes, basting occasionally with the buttery juices from the pan.
While the turbot is in the oven, prepare the Champagne sauce using the same pan:
- Drain excess fat from the pan, leaving behind any golden bits for flavour.
- Melt the remaining butter and sauté the shallots and garlic over low heat until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with Champagne, scraping up the browned bits to enhance the sauce.
- Add the fish stock and reduce the liquid by half.
- Stir in the cream and lemon juice, allowing the sauce to thicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Strain the sauce, if desired, before serving.
Serving:
- Carefully portion the turbot into servings, removing the flesh from the bone.
- Spoon the Champagne sauce generously over each serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes for an elegant pairing.
