Turkish sea bass sauté with lemon sauce

This is Islom Kurbonov's favourite dish - and it is a clear reflection of his culinary style.

Skinless and boneless fillet of turkish sea bass is seared until golden, then finished with butter, garlic, and thyme for aroma. On the side - tiger prawns (16/20), seared using the same method: crispy outside, juicy inside.

The sauce is based on chicken stock with an emulsion of butter and lemon fresh - light, silky smooth, with a mild sourness. It is complemented by green peas, fresh asparagus, and farm-grown peeled cherry tomatoes.

Final touch - nori powder and a drizzle of dill oil right before serving.

Sear the sea bass fillet in well-heated vegetable oil until golden brown. Finish with butter, garlic and thyme - let them infuse the aroma by spooning the butter right over the fish. Sear the tiger prawns the same way.

Bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add butter and whisk continuously until a smooth emulsion forms. Season with salt, add lemon juice and adjust to taste. Add green peas, asparagus, and peeled cherry tomatoes. Warm through, the vegetables should remain fresh and not overcooked.
