Marinade de rouget a la menthe et citron vert
Fresh red mullet marinated with a fresh mint and lime stock

[join mailing list]

INGREDIENTS:

Fresh red mullet marinated with a fresh mint and lime stock

4 red mullets filleted and boned (200gr each)
1 lime zest
1 lime leaf (optional, can be replaced by a stick of lemon grass)
1 glass white wine
250ml fish stock (powder or paste fish stock if fresh is not possible)
6-mint stalk
1 teaspoon pink bay (peppercorn)
1 large shallot (roughly chopped)
1bag of peppery mix salad
1 lemon juice + olive oil dressing
Salt

PREPARATION:

In a pan, bring to the boil all the ingredients except for 12 mint leaves, half of the pink peppercorn and the juice of the lime. Simmer for 20 mins and drain through a fine sieve.

In a roasting tray sprinkle the chopped mint leaves, the pink peppercorn and some salt. Lay the red mullet on it and pour the hot stock on top and the lime juice.

Cook in the oven (200c) for 3 to 4 min.

Leave overnight in the fridge and the stock should have a light jelly texture.

To serve just roughly chop the salad, mix with the lemon and olive oil dressing. Place the salad at the centre of each plate and top with 2 red mullet fillets per person. Glaze the fish with the stock and serve some of it around.

You can decorate the dish with dices of finely cut vegetables and red pepper and a nice mint tip.
