Method

Have your monkfish fillets prepared beforehand at the fish shop
Spread the slices of smoked bacon on a sheet of greaseproof paper, top with the burbot fillets, then roll and tie them up and let them dry on paper towel in the fridge for 12 hours
Peel the salsify, cut each of the pieces so they are the same length, place the pieces in a sauté pan, add the lemon juice, butter, and white chicken stock, and cook covered over low heat.
Cook until the salsify are tender and the juice becomes thick, then season with fleur de sel.
Sweat the chopped onions in a frying pan over low heat, peel and dice the parsnips, chop the garlic, and add to the pan.
Drench with the chicken stock and water and cook covered until the liquid is completely absorbed.
Blend in a blender, add the liquid cream, season as needed, and keep warm
Prepare the buckwheat biscuits: mix the ingredients in a mixer with a beater blade, then use a spatula to arrange circles of the dough on a non-stick baking sheet
Sprinkle with blue poppy seeds and bake at 180°C (360°F) for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool on a marble surface
Cook and baste the roasted monkfish in a frying pan with some soft butter until golden brown, then set aside and keep warm
Arrange some parsnip purée on a plate, then add some salsify and a drizzle of its cooking juice in the middle
Top with a medallion of roasted monkfish and a buckwheat biscuit
Serve warm and enjoy!
