Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb whole flat fish
Prawn Mousseline
- 8 4/5 oz shrimp
- 1 egg white
- 0.42 cup double cream
- 0.35 oz butter
- 0.53 oz crème fraîche
- 0.07 oz salt
- a pinch cayenne pepper
- to taste lemon zest
- a splash white wine
Instructions
- 1Fillet the whole flat fish as shown in the video, keeping the skin on the top fillet and removing any bones.
- 2Place the peeled, ice‑cold shrimp in a food processor and pulse for 10–15 seconds until coarsely chopped.
- 3Add the double cream, large egg white, butter, crème fraîche, salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper, lemon zest to taste, and a splash of white wine to the processor; pulse until the mixture is completely smooth.
- 4Pass the mousse through a fine‑mesh sieve to remove any remaining bits and achieve a silky texture.
- 5Transfer the strained prawn mousse into a piping bag fitted with a wide tip.
- 6Pipe the mousse onto the flesh side of the opened fish fillets, spreading it evenly.
- 7Fold the top fillets over the mousse, sealing the fish like a pocket.
- 8Place the assembled fish on a sheet of baking paper in a shallow baking dish, cover tightly with foil or a lid, and braise in a pre‑heated oven at 248°F for 20–25 minutes until the fish is tender and the mousse is set.
- 9Remove from the oven, let rest for 2 minutes, then carefully transfer to serving plates.
- 10Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by a glass of champagne.
