This light turbot dish from Andy Beynon is served with a nutty brown butter sauce and salty sea vegetables. It's perfect served with Saicho's hojicha sparkling tea, which is made from a Japanese roasted green tea called hojicha. Its subtle savoury notes, and slight smoky flavour, pair perfectly with the buttery turbot.
Lightly oil the fish, and season with sea salt and pepper
Preheat a grill or a Robata grill until hot
Grill the fish for 6–8 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for a further 3–4 minutes. If using a Robata, start the fish skin-side down. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. You’ll know it’s done when the skin peels away easily and the flesh is cooked through near the bone
Remove from the grill and set aside
In a small saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat, stirring and scraping the milk solids up from the bottom as you cook. Once the butter turns nutty, brown and fragrant (about 4–5 minutes) it’s ready
Remove it from the heat and let cool slightly, then add a squeeze of lemon juice. If using, stir in the capers or fish sauce
Pour into a small pan or jug for serving alongside the fish
Place the turbot on a plate, then garnish with pepper dulse, sea purslane and shredded kelp
Serve immediately with the brown butter sauce on the side
