Preparation

Remove large veins from lettuce leaves and plunge in boiling salted water for a few seconds. Cool, then spread out on cloth or absorbent paper.

Place fillets on leaves, cover each portion with a slice of Canadian Saint-Paulin cheese, season with salt and pepper. Wrap fillets separately in lettuce leaves.

In a saucepan (preferably flared) sauté shallots in olive oil. Add wrapped fillets, fish stock, vermouth, white wine and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for 6 to 8 minutes.

Remove fillets and boil cooking liquid down to 1/2 cup (125 mL). Add cream and sorrel purée. Adjust seasoning.

Place a fillet on each plate and pour over sauce. Serve with rice.
