My birthday coming up soon, I absolutely love Turbot and have cooked it many times, mainly simply roastedlick
Christine will, as always say " come on, where do you want to go for your birthday?" and we have been to some very special restaurants and experienced some great food, these are very much, "treats"
But, like so many of you fellow cooks who frequent these pages will agree, there's nothing quite like getting it right at home.
It's gonna be Turbot, it has to be Turbot, nothing overly complex, I don't want to spend all day in prep!
Any suggestions will be very welcome, favourite so far is; https://www.raymondblanc.com/recipes/braised-fille...
First hand experience of something you've had success with would be good.thumbup

A whole turbot, cooked on a charcoal grill - shamelessly copied from Brat in Shoreditch. You will need a BBQ cage to turn the fish.

Serve with steamed jersey royals and a beurre blanc sauce.

I poach turbot fillets - originally in butter (which is a classic way) but the last few times in extra virgin olive oil (the temperature is not that high). Need to use kitchen cloth to get rid of excess oil/butter, but works really well (not surprising as it is the classical French way).

No inspiring ideas, I'm afraid; I just wanted to say you lucky bd for getting turbot. A sauce involving white wine, cream, capers and butter is always a solid accompaniment.
