Method

Dress the greens with vinaigrette and serve around the fish.

Plate the onion fondue and top with the brill fillet.

Baste the fish with a knob of butter and the remaining lemon juice.

Whisk white wine vinegar, half of the lemon juice, and 60ml of olive oil to create a dressing.

Scorch the lettuce leaves with a blow torch and mix with watercress and blanched leeks.

Sauté the onions in butter until soft then stir in crème fraîche, spring onions, pepper, and chives.

Fry the brill in a hot dry ovenproof pan until golden-brown and roast in the oven for 5 minutes.

Dust the brill fillets with flour and rub with 15ml of olive oil.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
