Fillet of John Dory With Shrimp Sauce
Oct 25th, 2007 | By Peter Minakis | Category: Fish, Main
About a week ago I was searching for new recipes that use flat/white fish recipes. I’m talking about sole, flounder, turbot or in this case, John Dory fillet.
There’s a sight called Video Jug and it has quite an extensive video library of “how to’s” in many categories (including cooking).
This recipe caught my eye as it sounded delicious and I wanted to try the cauliflower puree and I was intrigued by the shrimp sauce. I’d have to say it was quite delicious!
The cauliflower puree was good but I’d use a mashed celeriac in the future. As for the John Dory fillet, you could pan-fry the fish (as directed by the recipe) or broil it in the oven. Here in Toronto, I can easily find John Dory fillets frozen and one could easily use tilapia, sole, haddock or any other flat, white fish.
The highlight of this dish is the shrimp sauce. Concentrate your efforts here and you’ll have an enjoyable meal and perhaps polish off a bottle of white with this elegant fish dish.

I did check out Video Jug at your suiggestion. It looks like a comprehensive site. I will havr to check it out more when I am not headed for the “Hills”.
That looks amazing! I am always looking for nice ways to serve fish… we try to eat fish at least once a week.
my my my..this looks so delicious. Love it! :)
Peter, the dish is delicious, I am sure!
And so beautifully presented!
Peter — what a coincidence. I had shrimp for lunch today and man oh man I was thinking that I really needed a new recipe. Plain boiled with no sauce just doesn’t cut it :-S
Thanks for posting this amazing looking recipe.

Being surrounded by water, fish is on our plate 2-4 times a week. This recipe looks great Peter and I will be attempting it soon! I will probably use a grouper for the fish. The photos looks lucious!
This looks great, I keep wanting to try John Dory but I never see it on the west coast.
Oh Peter! That looks so delicious. I’m going to bed in a few minutes–and I’ll dream about that picture, I’m sure.
Peter, you’ve been on a roll ! This looks fantastic as well!
