2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the minced herbs in a
shallow dish or on a piece of waxed paper and coat the flesh side of
each fillet with them.
3. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until smoking and
sear the fillets flesh-side down. Place the skillet in the oven and
roast the fish until medium-rare, 4 to 5 min. Return the pan to high
heat, add the butter, then turn the fish skin- side down and cook
just until it forms a crust, 30 to 45 seconds. Turn the fish
skin-side up again and remove from the pan.

4. In a large saucepan or high-sided pan, melt the butter over medium
heat. Add the shallots, garlic, leeks, celery, and thyme and saute
for 2 min. Arrange the fish bones on top of the vegetables in an even
layer, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the bones
become opaque, 5 to 6 min.
5. Raise the heat to high, add the stock and wine, and bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer until 1-1/2 cup of liquid
remain, about 30 min. Strain through a fine strainer, pushing down on
the solids.
6. Pour the strained liquid into a clean saucepan and reduce over
medium-high heat until slightly syrupy, 10 to 12 min. Strain through a
chinois or fine strainer. Taste and season. It will taste strong and
salty and probably will need pepper only.
