Ingredients for Turbot Fillet with Potato Scales
1. Four turbot (about 6 oz each)
2. Two medium-sized potatoes
3. One cup of all-purpose flour
4. Salt and pepper, to taste
5. Four tablespoons of olive oil
6. Two tablespoons of butter
7. Two cloves, minced
8. Two sprigs of rosemary
9. One lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them thinly with a mandolin or a sharp knife. Set them aside.
2. Rinse the turbot fillets with cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Coat the turbot fillets in all-purpose flour.
4. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Place the turbot fillets in the pan and cook them for about two minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
5. Once the turbot fillets are cooked, transfer them to an oven dish and place them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
6. In the meantime, melt the butter in a separate frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss the potatoes in the pan to ensure that they are evenly coated with the butter and garlic.
8. Arrange the sliced potatoes on top of the turbot fillets, creating a “scale-like” pattern.
9. Drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes and top them with the rosemary sprigs.
10. Place the oven dish back into the oven and bake for a further 10-12 minutes until the potato scales turn golden brown.
11. Once cooked, remove the oven dish from the oven and place the turbot fillets on a serving plate. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
