Gratinated Turbot with Vegetables

Gratinated turbot with vegetables is an elegant and flavorful dish that will make a great impression at a special dinner. Below you will find a recipe to prepare it, with that unmistakable Italian touch!

Ingredients

  • 4 turbot fillets (about 200 g each)
  • 2 zucchinis
  • 2 carrots
  • 100 g breadcrumbs
  • 50 g grated Parmesan
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • Chopped parsley to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 °C (390 °F).
  2. Clean the vegetables. Cut the zucchinis and carrots into julienne (thin strips) and sauté them briefly in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Prepare the gratin by mixing the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil to obtain a fairly moist mixture.
  4. Arrange the turbot fillets in a baking dish lined with parchment paper, season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables over the turbot fillets.
  6. Cover each fillet with the gratin mixture and press lightly to make it adhere to the vegetables.
  7. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the surface is golden and crispy.
  8. Serve hot, perhaps with a drizzle of raw oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

For a perfect pairing, you could serve this dish with a glass of fresh and aromatic Vermentino, which pairs well with the delicate flavor of the fish and the crispiness of the gratin!
