Myrtle’s turbot
by:
Turbot is a regal fish that comes at a suitably regal price. But then it is Christmas. Note: avoid North Sea turbot, as stocks are depleted. And be aware that the hollandaise is made with uncooked egg yolks.

preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). With a sharp knife, cut through the skin on the top (dark) side only, all the way around the fish close to the frill-like fins. Season on top with some salt and pepper.
2. Pour 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) water into a roasting pan large enough to hold the turbot. Put the fish in the pan and bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mince half the herbs. Gently melt the butter in a small pan, stir in the minced herbs, and set aside.
3. Remove the fish from the oven and carefully peel away the top skin. Transfer it to a warmed serving dish. Reduce the remaining cooking juices to a few tablespoons and add to the pan of herb butter.
4. Pour the sauce over the white flesh of the turbot. Shape the rest of the herbs into a bouquet and lay them near the head as a garnish. Serve with plenty of boiled new potatoes.
