Steps for theroasted skate wing
- Salt the skate portions and set aside on kitchen paper in a cool place.
- Prepare the vegetables: blanch the broad beans and peas in boiling salted water, then cool immediately in iced water.
- Prepare the cockles and juice: cook the cockles in a very hot pan with the white wine, covered. Shell them and strain the juice through a chinois to remove the sand. Reduce the juice by three-quarters, add the cream, bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and add 50g of butter.
- Brown the skate wings in a non-stick frying pan, first in oil, then add the butter. Finish cooking by basting with the melted butter.
- Finishing: in a saucepan, reheat all the vegetables with the bacon, then add the sauce obtained earlier and the chopped lettuce. Add lemon juice and serve immediately.
