Preparation

In a dish, combine olive oil, lemon juice and coriander. Place fillets in mixture and marinate for 2 hours.

Prepare garlic butter by blending butter, chopped garlic, mustard, Canadian St-Damase cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Remove fillets from marinade and cook in a hot frying pan 4,5 minutes or until tender and golden. Season with salt and pepper.

Separate and wash endive leaves, then cut them lengthways into slivers. In a frying pan, over very low heat, cook in butter 4 to 5 minutes. Add a pinch of sugar, season with salt and pepper.

To serve, arrange endive leaves on 4 plates and top with fish fillets. Melt garlic butter, pour over fillets and garnish with a few coriander leaves.

Tips

Don't forget the pinch of sugar after cooking the endives, otherwise they might taste bitter.
