Sea Bass with Courgette and Peas Fricassee, and Lemon Butter Sauce
Sea Bass with Courgette and Peas Fricassee, and Lemon Butter Sauce
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
4 sea bass portions (160g each, skin on, pin-boned)
200g peas
1 courgette, seeded
Olive oil (for cooking)
1 lemon (juice)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (for seasoning)
Vegetable oil (for pan-frying the seabass)
2 shallots, finely chopped
60ml white wine vinegar
60ml white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
125g cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Andre Goichot Pouilly Fuisse (optional, pairs very well)
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Blanch the courgette and peas in boiling salted water for 2 minutes.
  3. Plunge the blanched vegetables into iced water to refresh, then drain and set aside.
  4. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Season the sea bass fillets with salt and pepper.
  5. Add a little vegetable oil to the pan and carefully place the sea bass, skin-side down. Pan-fry for 3 minutes or until golden on one side.
  6. Transfer the sea bass to a roasting tray and finish in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes, or until just cooked through.
  7. While the sea bass is in the oven, place the shallots, vinegar, white wine, and 60ml of water in a saucepan. Cook over moderate heat until almost all the liquid has evaporated.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, allowing each piece to melt before adding the next.
  9. Remove the pan from the heat occasionally to prevent overheating. Once all the butter is incorporated, the sauce should have a smooth, thin custard-like consistency.
  10. Season the beurre blanc with salt, white pepper, and lemon juice. Keep warm.
  11. When ready to serve, gently warm the blanched vegetables in a little olive oil.
  12. Place the warmed vegetables at the bottom of a warm serving dish.
  13. Spoon the lemon beurre blanc over the vegetables.
  14. Lay the cooked sea bass fillets on top.
  15. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
