Ingredients

3 lbs (1.5 kg) skate wings, skin removed on both sides, cut into 4 or 8 pieces, rinsed, and patted dry
2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
Salt and pepper

Watercress Sauce

1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
4 cups (1 litre) watercress
1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken broth
1/2 cup (125 ml) 35% cream

Preparation

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large non-stick skillet, lightly brown the fish pieces on both sides, two pieces at a time, in half the oil and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Place on the baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily from the bone.

Watercress Sauce

Meanwhile, in the same skillet, soften the onion and garlic in the oil. Add the watercress and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the broth and cream and cook for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
In a blender, purée the sauce until smooth. Adjust the seasoning. Serve with the skate as a appetizer or main course.
