Heat the oven to the hottest temperature.

Remove from the heat and in a gentle stream pour in the butter whilst whisking.  The sauce will thicken further.  Add the lemon juice and some seasoning and the tarragon.

Pan fry  the turbot for 2-3 minutes on each side until the white colours slightly the put in the hot oven and roast on high for approximately 15 minutes.

Serve with the béarnaise sauce – couldn’t be simpler, a classic, tasty luxury for an occasion.
