Ingredients
Steamed Turbot
- Ingredients
- 1 carrot
- 1 stalk Leeks
- 1 shallot
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup fish stock
- ½ cup Orange juice
- ½ cup Carrot juice
- 1 Star anise
- 2 turbot fillet (about 6 oz)
- Sea salt
Peel carrot and cut into very thin strips (julienne). Cut the white part of leek in half lengthwise, rinse and cut into approximately 2-inch long pieces. Cut carrot strips into approximately 2-inch lengths.
Peel shallot and finely chop.
Heat oil in a deep skillet. Sauté shallot over medium heat, stirring frequently, until translucent. Sauté carrot and leek for another 2 minutes.
Add fish stock, orange juice, carrot juice and star anise. Bring to a brief boil, then cook for about 4 minutes on medium heat.
Rinse turbot fillets, pat dry, season with salt and place into the broth. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes over medium heat.
Remove fillets from the hot liquid.
Distribute vegetables between 2 deep plates and place fish fillets on top.
Pour the hot broth on top of the fish and vegetables and serve immediately.

Healthy, because
The firm, aromatic flesh of turbot is low in fat, very rich in protein, and provides a lot of vitamin D. This fat-soluble vitamin is important for the growth and strength of the bones and for smooth nerve and muscle functions. Carrot and juice provide us with beta-carotene, which is partly converted into vitamin A in our organism. The rest acts as a "radical scavenger" and thus protects our skin from sun damage.
Even smarter
This makes a quick and delicious dish. For a more simple, everyday recipe, prepare it with frozen vegetables and a less expensive fish filet.
