There are some things in life that just go hand in hand. Jelly and ice cream for example. Or strawberries and cream. In terms of gourmet food options, the summer months and seafood are exactly the same.
If you throw a mean dinner party, this is a recipe you need in your repertoire. Girolles are a real treat of autumn and their floral nuttiness is wonderfully accentuated by the fresh halibut. Halibut is a meaty fish with large flakes and stands up beautifully to this richly flavoured sauce.
Bream is a delicate fish with a firm flake. This is a simple yet elegant dish that pairs the fish with the silkiness of well-oiled crushed herby potatoes and the zing of lemon zest. Use a rounded, grassy extra virgin olive oil for the best results and you’ll find yourself making these potato for many other meals.
