“This dish is from our family village, Cuiseaux, where it’s generally done with some local river fish, such as perch, eel or sandre. We use oven-baked hapuku with mushrooms, bacon, sweet white onions, sorrel and natural cooking juices,” says Edouard Reymond.

1.Preheat oven to 180C. Heat a roasting pan over medium heat, add grapeseed oil and 20gm butter, stir until melted, add mushroom, onion, bacon, bay leaves and garlic and stir occasionally until fragrant and onion is tender (8-10 minutes). Place fish on top, season to taste and bake for 6 minutes, then pour wine over and bake until cooked through (6-8 minutes). Remove fish, set aside and keep warm.

2.Meanwhile, heat remaining butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sizzling, add sorrel and stir until wilted (20-30 seconds).
3.To serve, spoon mushroom mixture onto plates, top with fish, pour sorrel butter over, dollop with sour cream, spoon sauce over, scatter with watercress and season to taste.
