Instructions: Melt the butter in a small sauce pan. Cook the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Add the fish stock, bring to a boil and reduce by one half. Add the cream and set aside to cool for 2 minutes.

Place the mixture in a blender, add the watercress and chervil to the blender. Carefully pulse the blender off and on several times. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside somewhere warm while you cook the fish.

Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil in a small saute pan, season the mullet with salt and pepper on both sides and sear for 3 minutes on each side. Place on a platter with steamed potatoes and top with the sauce and chervil sprigs.
