HALIBUT FILLET IN A SPÉCULOOS CRUST AND GREEN BEANS WITH LIME BUTTER - VANILLA ICE-CREAM WITH CHANTERELLE DUST

Supersonic and terribly easy menu for your Valentine ?
(maybe, maybe not...). 












HALIBUT FILLET IN A SPÉCULOOS CRUST – GREEN BEANS WITH LIME BUTTER

2 pieces halibut fillet skin removed (or any white fish)
2 tbsp of sunflower oil
7 spéculoos biscuits
1 tbsp of mustard
The juice of a half a lemon
The juice of half a lime
The zest of 1 lime
 250g of fresh green beans
 100g of salted butter

Put the butter in a bowl and leave at room temperature until it is soft enough to work.
Pre-heat your oven to 210°.
With a hand blender, smooth blitz the spéculoos with the mustard, lime juice and oil.
Coat each fillet with the spéculoos preparation.
Cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, take the soften butter and add the zest and lime juice.
Mix to combine thoroughly.
Put the butter mixture on to a large square of cling film.
Shape into a log, and roll the mixture up in the film, twisting the ends.
Refrigerate until firm.
Boil water for the beans and cook for 10 minutes.
For the butter, remove wrap and slice into rounds.
Serve the halibut with the beans and lime butter.
