Recipe

PHASE 1: THE PALE ROUX & STOCK INFUSION

discover the duality of the potato prep by steaming sweet potatoes until soft and boiling the waxy potatoes separately. Blend the sweet potatoes with cream and 40g of butter for the puree. For the salad dice the waxy potatoes and fold them gently with mustard mayonnaise and fresh herbs while still warm to absorb the flavors.

PHASE 2: COOKING & FINISHING

discover the art of the sear by patting the sole dry with paper towels. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet with clarified butter over medium-high heat. Sear the fish for 3-4 minutes per side until the skin develops a deep golden crust. Baste constantly with the remaining hot butter and lemon juice during the final moments for a nutty aroma.

PHASE 3: THE FINISHING TOUCHES & GARNISH

discover the assembly by preparing a fresh salsa verde combining the minced shallots capers parsley and olive oil. Place a smooth quenelle of sweet potato puree on one side and a neat stack of the herb-flecked potato salad on the other. Lay the sole gracefully over the center and dress with salsa verde. Garnish with micro-chives and lemon.
