Ingredients

  • olive oil, for frying
  • 2-3 medium garfish, cleaned
  • ½ cup (125 ml) white wine
  • 6 curry leaves
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) cream
  • 120 g diced butter, chilled
  • ½ tsp ground lemon myrtle
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and white pepper

Instructions

  1. Place a large oven-proof frying pan over medium heat, with a generous drizzle of olive oil for frying. When hot, fry the garfish for 3 minutes per side, or until golden. Reserve in a low oven to keep warm while you make the sauce.
  2. Place a medium saucepan over low heat, then add the white wine and curry leaves and cook until reduced by half. Add the cream and increase the heat to high to reduce and thicken.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the butter, one piece at a time, whisking constantly. Remove the sauce from the heat and season with the ground lemon myrtle, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and white pepper.
  4. Transfer the cooked garfish to a serving platter and spoon over the lemon myrtle beurre blanc.
