When the plate's this colourful, you don't really need veggies. |
I knew I wanted "wilde" and not "aquaculture". And I wanted something that resembled the word "fresh" - not frozen. "Frische" seems like it might mean fresh, right? I hoped filet was the universal term for "bones removed". Shopping roulette was almost complete.
I ended up with steinbeisserfilet, only partly because I could pronounce it. David tells me it translates as stone biter, but wiki tells me that it's a wolf fish. Go ahead and google wolf fish. Then tell me you aren't impressed that I ate it anyways.
The google machine said it resembled catfish, which helped me decide how to prepare it.
Finding a bag of ground almonds in the pantry and a lemon in the fridge, I had a plan.
I dumped some ground almonds in a dish, added 3 cloves of pressed garlic and the zest of a lemon to make a crumbly topping. Spread it on top of the fish and bake at somewhere between 375º and 425º for 20 minutes. (It was 200ºC - so not sure what the exact conversion is.)
Zest a lemon. Squish some garlic. Grind some almonds. |
Look. The lemon zest and garlic is visible amongst the ground almonds. |

Quick splash of olive oil. Baking dish lined with parchment. |
I hate to waste a lemon, so squeezed half a lemon into the baking pan. |
Spoon crumbly almond topping over the top. (I decided to cut the fish into portions.) |
