MUSTARD AND HERB-CRUSTED FISH

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound Fish Filet (Halibut, Sea Bass, Salmon, or Cod)
  • 1 stick butter (approx. 6-8 tablespoons), room temperature
  • 1/4 tablespoon Kosher salt 
  • 1/4 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper  
  • 1 teaspoon each chopped dill, chives, basil and flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard 
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned breadcrumbs 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • 2 strips of bacon, roughly chopped into chunks  
  • 1 large leek 
  • 1 larger head of fennel, core removed and sliced in thin strips (against the grain, not vertically) 
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil, whole fine herbs, juice of half a lemon and a pinch of flake sea salt to finish 


DIRECTIONS  

  1. Preheat oven to 325°.

  2. Combine the soft butter with the salt, pepper, mustard and chopped herbs until throughly combined.

  3. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed sauté pan until it shimmers, then add the bacon.

  4. When the bacon is cooked, add the leek and sauté in the oil/bacon on medium-high heat.

  5. Lightly sauté the leek for a minute until it becomes fragrant and then add the fennel. Cook the bacon/fennel/leek mixture until the vegetables are soft.

  6. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until you smell the garlic and as soon as you smell the garlic add the white wine.

  7. Spread the herb butter evenly onto the fish and top with breadcrumbs.

  8. Place the buttered filet on top of the sautéed vegetable/bacon mixture and place in the oven.

  9. Allow the fish to cook on the bed of vegetables until its internal temperature reaches 120°. This will take approximately 15 minutes.

  10. Serve fish with the sautéed vegetables and your choice of sides (this dish is excellent served simply with with rice, farro or quinoa). Garnish with Extra-virgin Olive Oil, fines herbs and lemon juice.
