On a recent trip to Whole Foods, I purchased two of the Turbot fillets which cost me about $19.00 for the pound. The Turbot is a nice white fish that is pretty meaty; I would compare it to Sea Bass or a nice Cod. One fillet is plenty for two or three people depending upon how you plan to serve it (fish tacos or fish sandwiches). The two fillets will serve dinner on two occassions for an average cost of about $9.50 per dinner or $3.16 per person.
When I don't have time for seeking inspiration about dishes, I usually pan-sear or pan-sear and go to the oven depending upon what I am preparing, in this case I pan-seared the Turbot fillets. Simply, salt and pepper your fillets while you heat up a non-stick skillet and a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Don't forget to make sure you hear that sizzle when the fillet is going down to meet the skillet. Sear the fillets on each side for 3-5 minutes depending upon the thickness. The fish will be seasoned, flakey and delicious and remember if food doesn't have any flavor, what's the point.
