Method
Clean the turbot and cut 4 fillets.

Prepare a fish fumet: put all the trimmings of the turbot into a saucepan with 1 1/2 litres of water, the whole carrot, the roughly chopped onion, the celery stick and a few leaves of basil and parsley and simmer for about an hour until the liquid has reduced at least by a third.

Flour the fillets in type 00 flour and sauté them in a frying pan with half a glass of extra virgin olive oil flavoured with two cloves of garlic, taking care to brown the fillets on both sides. Add 2 apples previously cut into slices half a centimetre thick. Sprinkle with the Calvados and flame. Add a glass of fish stock and cook for about 5 minutes.

Separately, cut the escarole into wedges and bake in the oven with a few thin slices of the remaining apple for 5 minutes at 180°C with a little extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.

Arrange a turbot fillet on each plate with the apples on top. Add the remaining fish stock and garnish with backed escarole and sliced apples. Enjoy!
