2.00 tablespoon chopped shallots
1.00 cup fish stock
¼ cup heavy cream
1.00 bunch watercress; cleaned free
1 ; of large stems
½ cup packed fresh chervil leaves
1½ teaspoon olive oil; for sauteing

Add the cream and set aside to cool for 2 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender, add the watercress and chervil to the blender. Carefully pulse the blender off and on several times. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside somewhere warm while you cook the fish.

Heat 1½ teaspoons of oil in a small saute pan, season the mullet with salt and pepper on both sides and sear for 3 minutes on each side. Place on a platter with steamed potatoes and top with the sauce and chervil sprigs. This recipe yields 2 servings.
