Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 4 Nile Perch fillets
- 1 carrot
- 1 zucchini
- 1 beet
- 1 stalk of celery
- A pinch of cumin
- Olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 orange
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) butter
- A large pinch of fleur de sel
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Garnish

Method
Tabbouleh:
- Wash and cut all the vegetables into thin julienne strips. Set half aside.
- Chop the other half very finely and place in a bowl with a pinch of fleur de sel, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, a little lemon juice and the cumin. Stir everything together and refrigerate.
Roulade:
- Divide the remaining julienne vegetables into four parts; lay the perch fillets out flat; place one portion of vegetables on each fillet; roll up and fasten with a toothpick.
- Place in an ovenproof dish and cook for 10 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F).
Citrus butter:
In a saucepan, bring the orange and lemon juice to a boil and gradually whisk in the cold butter in small pieces to form an emulsified sauce.
Garnish:
Remove the stems from the tarragon and chervil and snip the mint leaves and chives to make the little herb salad. Dress as desired with a light vinaigrette.
Presentation
- Arrange the vegetable tabbouleh on a plate; remove the toothpick and place the fish on top of the tabbouleh.
- Pour the citrus butter all around and accompany with the fresh herb salad.
