Method :
Place the mullet in a large saucepan skin-side up, sprinkle with the
fennel and add the wine. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for about 3
minutes until the fish is just cooked. Meanwhile, boil the stock rapidly
until reduced by half. Reserve 15 ml/1 tbsp of the chives, add the
remainder to the stock and season to taste.
Transfer the fish to a warm serving plate, pour the sauce over and serve
garnished with the reserved chives and the fennel fronds. |
