    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Season the turbot fillets with salt and pepper. In an ovenproof pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Place the fillets in the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
