Sable Fish

Method

Prepare the Risotto

  1. 1

    Cook the Base

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Champagne

    Pour in the champagne or sparkling wine, stirring until absorbed.

  4. 4

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until each addition is absorbed before adding the next.

  5. 5

    Finish with Shrimp and Cheese

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.

Prepare the Sable Fish

  1. 6

    Season the Fish

    Season the sable fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 7

    Sear the Fish

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Sauce

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent. Add capers and parsley, then deglaze with white wine and lemon juice, cooking until slightly reduced.

    On a plate, serve a portion of champagne shrimp risotto topped with the seared sable fish and drizzled with the caper, parsley, white wine butter sauce.
