Serves 4 – 6
INGREDIENTS
- 2 x 450 – 600g whole flounder, wings trimmed, scored 4 times diagonally, skin side up
- 50ml soy dashi (available in Asian supermarkets)
- 25ml lime juice
- 25ml gluten free soy sauce
- 100g butter
- 50g fresh watercress
- sea salt
- ½ lemon
- 50g shaved kombu (available in Japanese grocery stores)
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 240°C.
Melt butter in a pot over medium heat until a nutty aroma is achieved and brown specks have formed on the bottom of the pot. Set aside to cool.
Once cool, pour into a mixing bowl with soy dashi, lime juice and soy sauce.
Mix until combined. Keep warm and set aside.
Heat oil to almost smoking point in a large pan. Season fish and place skin side down into pan. Cook on high for about 2 minutes. Turn the fish over and place the pan into the oven for 3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and set back on a medium heat for 2 minutes, continuously spooning hot oil over the fish as it continues to cook. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, dress the watercress with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt.
To serve, spoon the butter mixture over the fish. Arrange watercress on top and scatter with shaved kombu.
