Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • coarse salt
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 1 fresh bay leaf
  • 2 juniper berries
  • 1 clove
  • ½ lemon
  • fine salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/16" wide strips
  • ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 300 g firm white fish fillets(such as catfish)
  • 30 g bacon, finely diced
  • 50 g emmental cheese, grated
  • 150 ml heavy cream

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 355ºF.
  • 2
    Using a wide saucepan or deep frying pan, create a "court-bouillon" (broth) with water, coarse salt, thyme, bay leaf, juniper berries, and clove. Squeeze the lemon into the bouillon and add the lemon, as well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes.
  • 3
    Carefully add the fish fillets to the bouillon. Adjust the heat so the water simmers with small bubbles. Cook the fish until done, but still firm. Remove and drain. Reserve at room temperature.
  • 4
    Place the bacon and cream in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Heat the oil over medium heat in a small frying pan. Add the red pepper strips and cook until tender. 6. Arrange the fish fillets on individual gratin dishes. Sprinkle the pepper strips over the fish. Spoon the sauce over the pepper strips. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of each dish. Bake in the oven until golden, about 10 minutes.
