Ingredients
  

  • For the Herby Hollandaise -
  • 2 fresh egg yolks
  • A splash of white wine vinegar
  • A pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons iced water
  • 60 ml Lurpak Cook's Range Cooking Liquid in place of 125g butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 teaspoons fresh herbs chopped, e.g dill, chives, parsley
  • For the fish/vegetables -
  • 2 halibut steaks or use cod or haddock
  • 4 large king prawns skewered
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 2 tablespoons Lurpak Cook's Range Cooking Liquid
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Mixed vegetables to serve e.g carrots, broccoli, green beans
  • 1 teaspoon Lurpak Cook's Range Cooking Liquid

Instructions
 

  • To make the herby Hollandaise sauce, place a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water to make a bain marie. Put the egg yolks, vinegar, salt and pepper into the bowl and whisk the yolks over a gentle heat until the mixture thickens. Add 1-2 tablespoons iced water to loosen, the butter/Lurpak Cooking Liquid and the lemon juice.Take off the heat and whisk together to form a sauce. Set to one side.
  • Half-fill a medium-sized pan with water and bring to the boil, adding one teaspoon of butter/Lurpak Cooking Liquid. Add the fresh vegetables making sure they are just covered with water, then simmer, uncovered for ten minutes, making sure the vegetables do not dry out.
  • Whilst the vegetables are cooking, heat a large frying pan until hot and then add two tablespoons butter Lurpak Cooking Liquid. Place the halibut in the pan, skin-side down and cook for two minutes. Add the prawns to the pan and cook for a further two minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper. Carefully flip the halibut and the prawns over and continue cooking on the other side for a further few minutes, adding the bay leaf to the pan for extra flavour. Take the pan off the heat and brush the halibut and prawns with a teaspoon of butter/Cooking Liquid mixed with the crush garlic. Check and drain the vegetables.
  • Just before serving the fish, gently re-heat the Hollandaise sauce, adding the chopped fresh herbs. Serve the fish alongside the cooked vegetables and sauce.
