INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add
wine and shallots and reduce to about 2 tablespoons. Add lemon juice and
set aside. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the potatoes lengthwise into
long, paper-thin slices. Lay slices out, overlapping edges, into a 9- by
9-inch square baking dish. Place a piece of fish on the center, season with
salt and pepper and top with basil leaves and 2 lemon slices. Fold potato
slices around fish, top with more slices to seal, if necessary. Rub oil
over top, season with salt and pepper, place in a lightly greased baking
dish and place in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are
lightly browned on top. Reheat saucepan over high heat, add cream and
reduce until it starts to thicken. Sauce will be light and silky. Remove
potato-crusted fish from oven. Place on plate and spoon sauce over. Serves
2.
Comments: Slicing the potatoes thinly is critical so that the slices fold
easily around the fish. Work quickly so that the slices do not discolor.
