Ingredients

  • 500 g of whiting fillets with skin
  • 1 green cabbage
  • Orange zest
  • Butter - Cream
  • Salt and white pepper
  • Raw ham

Prep time: 45 minutes

1
Rinse the cabbage, trim the base, remove the thick ribs, and peel off the leaves one by one. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cabbage leaves for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool; you can also steam them to save time.
2
Once the cabbage leaves are lukewarm, chop them coarsely with a knife.
3
Melt the butter in a large skillet and sauté the cabbage strips for a few minutes with salt and pepper; add a little cream, then stir in the julienned cured ham and orange zest; set aside.
4
Cut the whiting fillets into strips, then season with salt, white pepper, and a little curry powder.
5
Cook on the griddle on a sheet of oiled parchment paper. Start by searing the flesh side over high heat, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook until the whiting has a beautiful pearly sheen.
6
Place the whiting fillet on top of the buttered orange cabbage. Enjoy!
