Prepare broccoli. Put the leek in a pan together with a tablespoon of olive oil. Let all fry on low heat for two minutes. Add broccoli, dried tomatoes, pine nuts and season to taste with salt. Cook for some minutes stirring now and then.
Place the turbot fillet on a chopping board. Arrange the salmon slices on the turbot surface and then spoon the mixture with broccoli on salmon as you can see in the photo. It isn't necessary to season to taste with salt because salmon and broccoli are already dressed.
Roll up the turbot and season to taste with salt. Tie with kitchen string. You can also use food loop TOP SILICONE by Tescoma. Close the ends with a big toothpick as you can see in the photo.
Squeeze the orange.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix the orange juice with the remaining olive oil and chives. Pour it into a baking pan and then place the fish.
Bake for 40-45 minutes basting the fish with its cooking juice often.
Cut into thick slices and serve immediately.
