BAKED TILAPIA WITH FISH SCALE POTATOES
I learned this technique at Cordon Bleu, many years ago. It has wonderful presentation, and tastes excellent. It would be brilliant to serve at a nice holiday dinner party, and to be truthful, any type of fish filet will do quite nicely. The original technique for this recipe was a bit difficult to master, so I simplified it...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Thinly slice the potatoes.
- 4. Chef's Tip: For consistency, I strongly recommend using a mandoline slicer.
- 5. Use a small round cutter to make 3/4 inch (2 cm) disks.
- 6. Add the butter to a small skillet, over medium heat.
- 7. When the foaming subsides, add the potato rounds.
- 8. Chef's Note: Cook until the rounds begin to soften, but before they begin to brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- 9. Remove the rounds from the skillet, and lightly dust one side with flour.
- 10. Chef's Note: Reserve the leftover butter in the skillet.
- 11. Lightly score the filet, at 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) intervals.
- 12. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
- 13. Place the filet on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 14. Brush the filet with the egg wash, and then season with salt and pepper.
- 15. Arrange the potato rounds (flour side down) on top of the filet, overlapping them to resemble the scales on a fish.
- 16. Use the remainder of the butter from the skillet, to lightly brush over the tops of the potato rounds, and then season with a bit more salt & pepper.
- 17. Place into the oven, and bake until the fish is cooked and flakey, about 20 minutes.
- 18. Finish by placing under the broiler until the potato rounds begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- 19. PLATE/PRESENT
- 20. My favorite way to plate this is to put some sauce on the bottom of a plain white dish, and then carefully lay the fish on top. Enjoy.
- 21. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
