step 1
To make the aioli, finely chop the garlic cloves (2 cloves) with 1⁄2 tsp sea salt, mashing together on the board. Add to a processor with one egg yolk (1) and the lemon juice (1/2). Turn the processor on then gradually add the olive oil (300 ml), until it’s emulsified and thick, like mayonnaise. Season to taste and set aside a few spoonfuls to serve.
step 2
To make the croutons, heat the olive oil (25 ml) in a pan over a medium-high heat and fry the bread (4 slices) for a minute or so on each side, until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside. Mix together the red chilli (1) and sundried tomatoes (4) and bind with 1 tbsp of the aioli. Spread over the croutons.
step 3
To make the bourride, heat the olive oil (25 ml) in a large pan. Add the onion (1), leek (1), fennel (1/2), garlic (4 cloves) and orange peel (2 pieces) and fry gently without colouring for about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes (2), bay leaf (1), thyme (1 sprig), fish stock (1.2 L) and salt (1/2 tsp) and pinch of saffron (1 pinch).
step 4
Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the langoustines (8) to the stock and simmer gently for 2 minutes.
step 5
Add the sea bass (225 g) and Dover sole (8) (8 N/A) and simmer for another 2 minutes, to a core temperature of 50 degrees (use a temperature probe) or until the fish is tender. Remove the fish carefully with a slotted spoon and set aside on a warm serving dish.
step 6
Whisk a good splash of the warm stock into the aioli, whisk well, then pour in the rest, whisking continuously. Blend with stick blender until light and aerated. Pour the bourride over the fish, sprinkle with the chopped parsley (1 handful) and arrange the croutons on top.
