Description

This dish is a great combination of tender fish and a creamy pea puree. The saithe gets a nice texture and a fine nutty taste from the almond crust. I like to make it when I need something quick, but still want something special on the table. The dish is not only delicious, but also visually appealing and therefore also suitable for guests. If you like, you can serve a fresh salad with it. An absolute favorite recipe that is always well received by us!
