Description

This recipe for fish fillet on a braised cucumber bed is a light and summery dish, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The braised cucumbers are refined with capers and pearl onions and form a delicious base for the tender fish. The cherry tomatoes add a fruity note, while the cream makes the vegetables nice and creamy. A touch of dill perfectly rounds off the dish. I think it's a great way to combine fresh fish and seasonal vegetables. Salt potatoes or rice go well with it.
