Ingredients

  • 4 haddock fillets
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • Neutral oil for searing
  • 1 lb mussels, cleaned
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup fish stock
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour (for velouté)
  • 1 leek, halved lengthwise
  • Olive oil
  • 1 cup parsley and chives
  • 1/2 cup warm neutral oil (herb oil)
  • Lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Make herb oil: Blend herbs with warm oil until vivid green. Strain through fine cloth for clarity.
  2. Char leeks: Sear cut-side down in hot pan until deeply caramelized. Set aside.
  3. Steam mussels: Sweat shallot and garlic in butter, add mussels and white wine. Cover until opened. Strain liquid and reserve broth.
  4. Create velouté: Make blond roux with butter and flour. Slowly whisk in mussel broth and fish stock until smooth. Reduce gently.
  5. Brown butter: Cook butter until nutty and golden; fold into velouté for depth.
  6. Sear haddock (skinless technique): Pat fish very dry. Heat pan until lightly smoking. Sear one side without moving to form golden crust. Flip briefly to finish.
  7. Plating (Michelin style): Spoon velouté in a smooth base, place haddock slightly off-center, add charred leek, finish with herb oil droplets and lemon zest.
