Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Coat the fish on both sides with the pepper. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a black cast-iron skillet over a medium flame. Add the fish immediately and cook for about 2 minutes until lightly browned. Turn the filets, cover tightly, lower the heat and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer the fish to a warm plate and keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    Add the shallots to the skillet; stir and cook over a medium heat until wilted. Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce by half, add butter and blend well. Spoon the sauce over each fillet. Garnish with a sprig of chervil or dill.
