INGREDIENTS

For 4 people:

  • 4 fillets of cod
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 lemongrass stalk
  • Olive oil
  • 1 x 1 cm piece of ginger
  • 20 cl of fish stock
  • 10 cl of crème fraîche
  • 40 g of butter
  • 1 dessertspoon of lemon juice
  • Fleur de sel and pepper

METHOD

  • Fry the shallot, garlic and ginger in a little olive oil.
  • Reduce the fish stock to half its original amount and add to the pan.
  • Then add the crème fraiche and the Matcha tea, whisking as you go, followed by the whole lemongrass stalk.
  • Leave to simmer for 5 minutes over a medium heat.
  • Next, add the butter and lemon juice, whisking to get an emulsion.
  • At the same time, cook the fish fillets in a non-stick frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil (around 5 minutes each side over a medium heat, depending on the thickness of the fillets). Season with the fleur de sel and pepper.
  • Arrange the fillets on a plate and pour over the Matcha sauce.
  • Serve with rice, mashed sweet or traditional potatoes or quinoa and seasonal vegetables (steamed or roasted).
