Method
- Peel and cut yellow-fleshed potatoes into chunks; place in cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender.
- While potatoes cook, prepare the fish: for each turbot fillet, place a sage leaf on top, then wrap with a slice of prosciutto.
- When potatoes are tender, drain and pass through a food mill or mash. Add hot milk, butter, salt, lemon zest (from untreated lemons), and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix to create a creamy purée; keep warm.
- In a skillet, heat a little olive oil and sauté spinach until wilted; season with salt and set aside.
- In the same skillet (or a clean one), melt butter. Place the wrapped fillets skin-side down in the cold skillet, then turn heat to medium. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook for another minute.
- Remove the fish from the pan. Add a splash of white wine and a knob of cold butter, swirling to create an emulsified sauce. Season with salt.
- To serve, spread the potato cream on a plate, top with the sautéed spinach, place the fish fillet on top, and spoon the pan sauce around.
