Ingredients

300 g haddock fillet, or sole
4 carrots 400 g
1/4 cup flaked almonds 18 g
2 tbsp canola oil 30 mL
2/3 cup basmati rice 120 g
2 tbsp white wine 30 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1 tbsp butter, unsalted 14 g
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup orange juice 65 mL
3 tbsp cream 15% 45 mL

Before you start

Keep the individual serving plates in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the carrots.

Method

  1. Pat-dry the fish fillet then set aside.
  2. Prepare the carrots. Peel and cut them into 2 cm pieces then boil or steam them about 15 min until they are fork-tender. Let the carrots cool down a few minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat half of the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds and sauté until they are golden, paying attention not to let them burn. Take the almonds out of the pan and keep them warm on a plate in the oven.
  4. Cook the rice.
  5. Add the remaining oil to the pan, then add the fish and sauté over fairly high heat, 2-3 min on each side. Pour in the wine, then lower the heat, cover, and cook 7-10 min, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Check with a fork to see if it is cooked through.
  6. While the fish is cooking, purée the carrots in a food processor. Add the butter, minced garlic, orange juice, and cream, then pulse until a creamy consistency is obtained. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reheat.
  7. Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste, then cover it with the almonds and serve on the warmed plates with the carrots and rice.
