Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  • Stuff the fish cavity with the vegetables and spread remaining 30g of butter over the skin.
  • Roast the fish in the oven for 30 minutes until the flesh is white.
  • Boil onions, vinegar, 30ml of wine, and fish stock until reduced to two spoonfuls.
  • Add 240g of butter, sorrel, and spinach to the pan to soften for one minute.
  • Blend egg yolks while slowly pouring in the hot sauce mixture.
  • Strain the sauce through a sieve into a warm boat and serve with the filleted fish.
