Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mask the fillets with fish forcemeat, fold them and poach them with an element in keeping with the garnish.
  2. Cool them under a light press.
  3. Breadcrumb them à l'anglaise and grill them, basting with melted butter.
  4. Arrange them in a turban, alternating the fillets with very thin fish-forcemeat quenelles moulded in heart shapes of the same size as the fillets.
  5. Pour the garnish into the middle of the turban; do not sauce the turban itself.
  6. For large services, mould and poach the forcemeat in a cutlet tray and cut it up once it has rested a little, to obtain imitation cutlets of the thickness wanted.
