Seared Turbot Recipe

Directions for Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Stuffing

   In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, minced garlic, lemon zest, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Stuff the Squash Blossoms

   Carefully fill each squash blossom with the ricotta mixture, ensuring not to overstuff and damage the blossoms.

3. 3

   Sear the Turbot

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the turbot fillets with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.

4. 4

   Finish Cooking the Fish

   Flip the turbot fillets and add butter to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

5. 5

   Cook the Stuffed Blossoms

   In another skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed squash blossoms and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly golden.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the seared turbot fillets alongside the stuffed squash blossoms. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices and garnish with additional basil if desired.
