03 — Method
- Season the fillets and dust them lightly with flour, tapping off the excess.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in the large skillet and sear the fillets for 3 minutes per side until golden.
- Lay the cooked fillets in the large deep dish, well spaced, so they soak up the marinade evenly.
- In the sauté pan, cook the red onions, garlic and julienned carrots for 8 minutes.
- Add the pepper, bay leaf and cumin, stir well, then pour in the vinegar and the rest of the olive oil.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then pour the hot marinade over the fish.
- Cover and marinate in the fridge for 24 hours, then serve chilled as a starter.
