Description
This refined dish is a true invitation to a taste journey. The fish fillet, delicately flavored with vanilla, goes perfectly with the freshness of the lime couscous and the iodized flavor of the mussels. A surprising and harmonious marriage of flavors, perfect for a special occasion or a dinner with friends. I love preparing this dish because it is both elegant and easy to make with the Thermomix®. Vanilla brings a touch of exoticism that enhances the fish, while citrus couscous offers a beautiful freshness in the mouth. Do not hesitate to use fresh mussels for an even more intense taste. A real treat!
