How it's done
Celeriac
Mix the celeriac, oil, chilli and salt in a bowl, spread onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake
Approx. 20 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 220 °C. Remove. Turn down the oven to 60 °C, warm the platter and plates, keep the celeriac warm.
Fish
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Salt the fish, fry for approx. 3 mins. on each side. Remove the fish, keep warm.
Beurre blanc
Bring the wine and shallot to the boil in a pan. Turn down the heat, reduce the liquid to approx. 4 tbsp, strain into a measuring cup, squeeze out the shallot. Add the olives, puree, return to the pan, heat through. Add the butter gradually while stirring with a whisk. Return the pan to the hob a few times to gently warm the sauce; it must not boil. Stir until the sauce becomes creamy.
Serve
In a small bowl, mix the oil with all the other ingredients up to and including the orange juice. Serve on the warm plates with the cod, celeriac and beurre blanc.
