Fish

Potato Velouté

Method

Preparation of Potato Velouté

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Using a blender, puree the potato mixture until smooth. Return to the pot, stir in heavy cream, and season with salt and white pepper. Keep warm.

Cooking the Fish

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Season the red sea bream fillets with salt and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Sear the Fish

    In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Finish Cooking

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, ladle the warm potato velouté. Place the baked red sea bream fillet on top and garnish with sliced Périgord truffles and fresh herbs.
