Serves 2

For the velouté, melt the butter, sweat off the shallot and leek, add the white wine and reduce until almost evaporated. Do the same in turn for the chicken and fish stock, then add the thyme and lemon zest and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, pass through a sieve, add the mustard and check the seasoning. Keep warm.

Combine the apple, cucumber and tomato. Season the fish and place in a hot pan with some oil. Cook until golden brown, then turn the fillets over and take the pan off the heat to finish working. Gently spoon over apple and cucumber salad. Top with croutons and finely grated cauliflower. Pour over warm sauce.
