Every Sunday in the Sunday Table, Laurent Mariotte, his columnists and his guests give us their best recipes.

Ingredients :

 - 1 brill of about 3 kg (you can replace with another fish, sole, plaice, dab….)

 - 2 kg of early potatoes

 - 2 heads of garlic

 - 8 shallots

 - 100 g of butter + 400 g for the meunière butter

 - 100g of flour

 - 1 bunch of parsley

 - 2 squeezed lemons

Recipe for 8 people:

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C.

  • Put your potatoes in a dish, with the heads of garlic cut in half and a drizzle of oil.

    Salt and bake for 30 minutes.

  • For the shallots, place them in a second dish on a bed of coarse salt and cook for 17 minutes.

    Cut them in half when they come out of the oven. 

  • Prepare your fish according to your convenience (sections, fillets, whole…) do not hesitate to ask your fishmonger to do it for you.

  • Put the flour in a dish, place your pieces of fish then tap them to remove the excess flour.

  • In a frying pan, melt 100 g of butter, add your pieces of fish when the butter becomes foamy and let brown for a few moments.

    Turn the pieces over and continue cooking over low heat and wait a few minutes.

  • Remove from the heat and place your pieces of fish in a dish.

  • In a saucepan, put the butter that was used for cooking the fish, add the rest of the butter and brown it.

  • Add the lemon juice off the heat and filter with a strainer or, failing that, a coffee filter previously placed in a colander.

    Add the parsley and generously sprinkle the fish.

    Serve with potatoes and shallots.
