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.
OVEN BAKED (BREADED) TURBOT
It's been a while since I've found Turbot in any store, but found some in Trader Joe's and decided to bake it in the oven. I've made my own bread crumbs for this one out of some stale bread I had in the fridge. I plan to serve some fruit salsa with this fish for Easter.

TURBOT EN PAPILLOTE
Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil and add the fennel. Cook for 1 minute. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Place in a bowl and add the Tomato Confit, olives, and capers. Mix well and set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg white until foamy. In another small bowl, beat the egg yolk and heavy cream. Set the two bowls aside.
- Fold each piece of parchment paper in half. Using scissors, cut each folded piece of paper into a wide, plump heart shape (each opened heart should be about 12 inches across its widest point). Place a opened parchment heart on your work surface, with the fold running vertically. Leaving a 1-inch border, spread one side of the heart with 1 tablespoon anchovy butter. Top with 1 turbot fillet, one-fourth of the fennel mixture, 2 tablespoons vermouth, and 1 additional tablespoon of anchovy butter. Season with the salt and pepper mixture. Brush the outside edge of the heart with the beaten egg white. Fold the unbuttered side of the parchment heart over to cover the fish. Using tight interlocking folds, close the edges of the paper heart. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Brush the tops of the papillotes with the egg yolk mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. You will need 1 large skillet for each papillote. Place 1 tablespoons of oil in each skillet, and heat over medium heat. Add 1 papillote to each skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the undersides are deeply browned. Transfer the skillets to the oven and bake until the top of the papillate is browned, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, cut open each papillote and transfer the contents, including all the juices, to warmed dinner plates
- Rinse the anchovies well to remove their salt. Run your thumbnail along the backbone of each anchovy to remove the fillets. Discard the bones and mince the fillets into a paste. Transfer the paste to a small bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients. (The anchovy butter can be prepared up to 1 day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Remove from the refrigerator and let stand until softened before using.);

ROASTED TURBOT ON A CRISP POTATO CAKE WITH TEARDROP TOMATOES AND GAETA OLIVES
Steps:
- PREPARE THE TURBOT:
- Rinse the fish under cold running water until the water runs clear and no trace of blood remains. Cut off the head and tail with a large knife or cleaver. Use a pair of scissors to cut off the fins, including the two lines of fins that run along the sides of the fish. Cut the fish crosswise in half through the backbone and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- PREPARE THE POTATO CAKES:
- Peel 1 of the potatoes and slice very thin on a mandoline. As you slice the potato, arrange the slices in a single layer in a spiral fashion, starting in the center of the pan in an ovenproof 8-inch nonstick frying pan, covering the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with half the thyme, teaspoon of the salt, and pepper to taste and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Repeat to make a second potato cake in a second pan.
- ROAST THE FISH:
- Place one piece of the fish in the center of each potato cake. Put the pans in the oven and roast until the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the fish to a cutting board.
- Return the cakes to the oven to brown, about 5 more minutes. Turn the potato cakes out onto two serving plates.
- MEANWHILE, PREPARE THE SAUCE:
- Combine the tomatoes, wine, and vinegar in another medium frying pan and bring to a boil on top of the stove. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by one-half and the tomatoes are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the butter, olives, and olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- ASSEMBLE THE DISH:
- Remove the skin and lift the fish fillets from the bones. Place the 2 halves of each fillet on top of each other, in the center of each cake. Arrange 5 tomatoes around each potato cake. Pour the sauce over the fish and scatter the olives around. Garnish each plate with a sprig of rosemary and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest turbot fillets possible. Ask your fishmonger for recommendations, and look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the fish. Some good options include thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure there is enough space between the fillets so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the fish until it is just cooked through. This will help to prevent it from becoming dry and overcooked.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Greek baked turbot fillets are a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The fish is flaky and tender, and the flavorful herbs and spices add a touch of Mediterranean flair. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its light, flaky texture and delicate flavor, turbot is a versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Baking is a great option for turbot, as it helps to preserve its delicate flavor and moisture.
