Ingredients
- 2 tbsp black peppercorns, fennel seeds, coriander seed
- 1 4/5 oz capers
- 1 4/5 oz cornichons
- 5 tbsp dill
- 1 1/10 pt vegetable oil
- 2 egg yolk
- 0.88 oz Dijon mustard
- 2 shallot
- 3 1/2 oz panko breadcrumbs
- 1 3/10 cup white wine
- 1 4/5 lb plaice fillet
- 1 4/5 oz plain flour
Fish Fumet
- 2 1/5 lb plaice bones
- 2 celery stalk
- 1 onion
- soft fine herbs, to taste
- 1 lemon
- 2 star anise
Instructions
- 1Trim any remaining skin from the plaice fillets and pat dry.
- 2Set up a breading station: place plain flour in one shallow dish, beaten egg yolks in a second, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
- 3Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg yolk, and finally press into the panko breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
- 4Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 350°F / 347°F).
- 5When the oil is shimmering, add the breaded fillets, panko side down, and cook until the coating is golden and the fish is about 90 % done, roughly 3‑4 minutes per side; the flesh should become translucent.
- 6Add a small knob of butter to the pan and baste the flesh side for extra richness, then transfer the fillets to a warm serving plate.
- 7For the tartare sauce, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped shallot, capers, cornichons, dill, and the prepared spice blend (black peppercorns, fennel seeds, coriander seed). Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
- 8Place the warm sauce beneath the plated fish and garnish with a fresh squeeze of lemon.
- 9To make the fish fumet: combine plaice bones, celery stalks, sliced onion, soft fine herbs, sliced lemon, and star anise in a stock pot; cover with cold water.
- 10Bring to a boil, skim off any foam, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
- 11Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the remaining herbs and lemon, and let the mixture steep for another 20 minutes.
- 12Strain the fumet through a muslin cloth and a chinois into a clean saucepan, discarding solids.
- 13Return the strained stock to the stove and reduce it by two‑thirds over medium heat, about 10‑12 minutes, until it thickens slightly and intensifies in flavor.
- 14Finish the tartare sauce by whisking in a tablespoon of the reduced fumet for depth, then spoon the warm sauce over the fish just before serving.
