Preparation
- Combine the chopped herb with the scallions, chives, tarragon, garlic, oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is chopped fine. But overblending will harm texture.
- Add the egg and blend briefly until the egg is coarsely blended.
- Pour water into the bottom of a steamer. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and place them on a steamer rack. Lay 4 basil leaves over each fillet and cover. Bring the water to a boil and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook. The fish can be served hot or cold.
- Transfer the fish to a serving plate. Spoon the vinaigrette over the fillets and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
