Turbot With Langoustines And Sandefjord Sauce

Method for the turbot and langoustines:

1. Heat a frying pan until hot, add the butter and turbot and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
2. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the langoustines and boil for 3-4 minutes until cooked and then drain. Set 4 whole ones aside as a garnish.
3. To enable the meat to be prized out when served part of the shell needs to be removed. Turn the langoustines over to reveal the belly and using a pair of scissors, cut along each side and remove the shell to expose the sweet and tender meat.

Method for the potatoes and leeks:

1. Place the potatoes into a pan of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 12 minutes until tender.
2. Drain and toss in a little butter, salt and black pepper.
3. Bring a separate pan of water to the boil, add the leeks and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
4. Drain, toss with a little butter, salt and black pepper.

Method for the sauce:

1. Place the cream and star anise into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
2. Simmer until reduced by half.
