Plaice Fillets Charente Style delicate and fragrant
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 2 plaice from small boats of about 10.5 oz (300 g) each, just scaled, fillets removed
- 3 medium new potatoes from Ré (or Noirmoutier)
- 3.2 qt (3 liters) of seawater or salted water
- Thyme, bay leaf and one spoonful of dried seaweed
- A few black peppercorns
- 5.25 oz (150 g) of fine half-salted butter
- A little wild garlic or garlic chives, chopped
- 1.75 oz (50 g) of roasted and crushed almonds
- A little rice flour
- Lemon juice, oil, fine salt and freshly ground pepper
Step-by-step recipe
1 In a large pot, place your plaice bones, your potatoes and your garnish, pour your cooking water and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
2 On your cutting board, lay out your plaice fillets, salt and pepper them, then coat them in rice flour.
3 In a large skillet, melt 3.5 oz (100 g) of butter with a few drops of oil. When it becomes golden brown, place your fillets in and mark them for 2 minutes on each side, then turn off the heat and cover for resting.
4 There you have it, your potatoes are cooked, so quickly peel them and place them on your work surface. Mash them with a fork, salt lightly and pepper, then add the remaining 3.5 oz (100 g) of butter and keep warm.
5 You are ready to eat, so gently reheat the fish and purée. Arrange it in the center of your yellow plates, topped with your crushed almonds, your 2 fillets on each side drizzled with hot brown butter, a squeeze of lemon and a little chopped wild garlic.
