Ingredients
- 1 fillet fresh white fish, such as Cod, Hake or Pollock (106g per person)
- Sea salt to cure
- 1⁄2 orange, zest
- 1⁄2 shallot, finely chopped Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 150ml vermouth
- 1⁄2 orange, segments
- 1⁄2 orange, juice
- 40g crème fraiche (optional)
Chopped garden herbs – fennel, chives, parsley, or basil 40g samphire
Method
Generously sprinkle the fish with sea salt and orange zest and leave to cure for 10 mins. Pat dry with paper towel.
Place the shallots, pepper, olive oil and white vermouth in an oven proof pan/dish. Let that simmer down.
Whilst that is simmering, segment the orange and set aside into a bowl.
Squeeze the rest of the juice from the orange into the pan and mix until the mixture comes to a boil. Gently place the cod in the pan and cover with a lid. Leave for 5-10 mins for it to cook.
Remove the cod from the pan and place on a resting dish. Add the crème fraiche to the pan, whisk in the olive oil, chopped herbs and orange segments to finish the sauce.
Pour the final sauce on top of the fish. Serve with samphire on the side.
