Ingredients
Method
Cover the bottom of a large roasting tray with chopped onions, garlic, celery and mushrooms. Season the fish all over and lay on top of the vegetables. Pour over half of the champagne and a chopped lemon, cover with foil and roast in a pre-heated oven at 180°c for about 30 minutes. Take out and keep warm. Strain any liquor through a sieve into another pan and add some chicken stock reducing by half. Add some cream as you go and a squeeze of lemon juice. Liven up with a little more champagne.
For the leeks, trim and slice thinly and blanch in boiling salted water till cooked. Then drain and keep in iced water. Clean the chanterelles and fry them in butter then fry the bacon and bring all the ingredients together adding a touch of cream and seasoning. Chop the tarragon and add this to the warm sauce. Carefully take the fish off the bone and serve with the leeks and sauce.
