Broiled Turbot With Roasted Winter Vegetables Recipes

ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and butternut squash in 1 to 1 1/4-inch cubes. All the vegetables will shrink while baking, so don't cut them too small.
• Place all the cut vegetables in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Drizzle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender, turning once with a metal spatula.
• Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

TURBOT WITH BROWN BUTTER AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the turbot on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of canola oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When you see a wisp of smoke, add the fillets to the pan (do not overcrowd the pan to achieve a proper sear, so cook in batches if you have to). Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter per fillet to the pan. Cook the turbot on both sides until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes total. Remove to a plate.
• Deglaze the pan with the white wine over medium-high heat and let cook all the way down to a dry pan. Add the remaining butter to the saute pan and cook until slightly golden brown. Add the capers and lemon juice, and then add the fish back to the pan. Baste the fish with some of the sauce to warm. Remove from heat, add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
• Put each fillet on a plate and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the lemon zest and a sprig of tarragon.

ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the carrots, parsnips, beets and radishes together with the thyme, garlic, olive oil, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Arrange in 1 layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until tender and golden brown in places, about 25 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and transfer to a bowl for serving.

BROILED TURBOT WITH ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare the beurre blanc:.
• In a small saucepan, bring the champagne to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to simmer until volume is halved.
• Whisk in the cream slowly and bring up to a simmer; allow to cook for 5-7 minutes. Add the butter, one cube at a time, whisking constantly, until all the butter has been incorporated. Set aside to let it cool and thicken.
• Prepare the marinade/vegetable dressing:.
• Combine the juice of the lemon with the vinegar and slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
• Roast the vegetables:.
• Toss the parsnips and potatoes in 1/4 of the dressing. Place on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast at 450° for 10 minutes. Stir. Toss the garlic and pearl onions in another 1/4 of the dressing. Add to the potatoes and parsnips and roast for another 10 minutes. Stir. Toss the Brussels sprouts in another 1/4 of the dressing. Add to the rest of the vegetables and roast for 20 minutes, stirring twice. Set aside.
• Prepare to broil the fish:.
• While the vegetables are roasting, brush the turbot fillets with half of the remaining dressing. Allow to marinate for no more than 60 minutes.
• Broil the fish:.
• Once the vegetables have finished, turn the oven to high broil. Brush the turbot with the rest of the dressing and season the tops with salt and pepper. Place in a skillet or a baking sheet that has been lined with tin foil. Broil 3-4 inches from the broiler for 3-6 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the tops of the fillets are golden brown and bubbling. Check on it often - its easy to burn them with this method. Remove from the oven.
• To serve:.
• Put half of the vegetables on each of two plates that have been warmed briefly in the oven. Drizzle with beurre blanc. Place the fillet on top of the vegetables and drizzle again with beurre blanc. Serve immediately.
