Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix herbs with 3 1/2 tbsp butter, and season. Place potatoes, asparagus, carrots, spring onion and garlic in a roasting pan. Dot with herb butter and add 4 tbsp water. Cover and roast for 30 mins.
  2. 2
    For the sauce, make the shallot reduction. Bring 1/2 cup water, vinegar, shallots and peppercorns to a boil in a small saucepan. Simmer until liquid is reduced by 1/3, strain and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, clarify the butter. Melt remaining butter in a small saucepan over low heat and skim off foam. Carefully transfer only clear butter to a measuring cup. Place the cooled reduction over a double boiler, whisk in egg yolk until thickened then slowly stream in clarified butter until smooth and creamy. Add lemon juice and season. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  3. 3
    To finish, season fish and dredge in flour, tapping off excess. Heat oil in a pan and fry fish for 2-3 mins on each side. Remove vegetables from oven and arrange on plates with fish and sauce. Garnish with dill and lemon slices.
