Peter Evans

Mangrove Jack with Carrot Beurre Blanc


Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 150 gram mangrove jack fillets or snapper / jewfish / blue eye cod
  • 1 l carrot juice
  • 1 cup diced cold butter
  • Sea salt
  • Cracked pepper
  • 1 lime juice only
  • 8 cups spinach
  • 2 finely diced garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon diced ginger
  • 1 finely diced birds eye chilli
  • ½ lemon juice only

Method

  1. Reduce the carrot juice over a medium heat in a saucepan until it resembles a thick syrup.
  2. Whisk in the butter - a piece at a time off the heat - until you have a nice sauce consistency.
  3. Add the lime juice to balance out the richness of the butter & season with salt & pepper.
  4. Heat a frying pan and cook the fish skin side down until golden then turn over.
  5. In another pan - fry the garlic, chilli & ginger in a touch of olive oil and add in the spinach and cook for 1 minute and season with salt & pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice (then drain the cooked spinach - to lose as much water as possible)
  6. Pour the sauce in the middle of the plate and add the drained spinach, top with the cooked fish.
  7. This dish is very nice with a teaspoon of chilli jam on the side and also a potato rosti is a great accompaniment to this dish

    Sounds so good! I would probably have to substitute fish, as I'm from Eastern Canada, and that is cold water territory. Peter I really like how you give your idea of sides. Thank you for that.

    I was skeptical although found this recipe on two sites and thought to try it... Amazing taste! Was worried about the butter content although will cook this recipe again! Maybe not once a week but as a specialty dish due to the butter! Kids loved it also... (without the chili)

      I must admit I was unable to see the tuition video above so had to go alone! I did make a few changes where I used frozen spinach and didn't reduce the carrot as much as shown... I must still admit I am eager to cook it with my variations again very soon. Thats what cooking is about, taking ideas and making them into your own creations!
