These red mullet fillets coated with our Jean Martin black tapenade, quickly grilled, make for a refined appetizer bursting with Mediterranean flavors.
Preparation
- Purchase red mullet fillets that have already been filleted and deboned.
- Arrange the red mullet fillets, skin-side up, on a baking sheet brushed with olive oil.
- Coat each red mullet fillet with Jean Martin black tapenade and place in the oven.
- Leave in the oven on the grill setting for 3 minutes, then remove.
- Arrange 3 to 4 red mullet fillets per plate, placing an arugula leaf between each fillet, along with a few thin slices of raw radish and button mushrooms. Drizzle the plate with a few drops of olive oil.
Our tip
Keep a close eye on the grilling: 3 minutes is generally sufficient for these thin fillets, as overcooking them will quickly dry them out.
Variation
Replace the red mullet with sea bream fillets depending on availability.
Pairings & suggestions
These fillets are best enjoyed with a dry white wine such as a Bandol blanc or a Cassis.
