Description

This recipe for char with smoked salmon and creamy leeks is a real treat! I especially like to make it when I have guests, as it can be prepared well in advance and always makes an impression. The tender char, filled with aromatic smoked salmon and topped with a fine crème fraîche, harmonizes wonderfully with the creamy leek cream. The preparation is straightforward and succeeds with the Thermomix® in no time at all. Served with rice or salt potatoes, it is a light but festive dish that is perfect for special occasions or a fine dinner. An absolute favorite recipe that I always enjoy preparing!
