It's been a while since I posted but I guess Christmas gets the best of all of us! The kids have been unwell so not a lot of excitement food wise lately anyway. Today is the once-a-week-fish-day and I made one of my favourites. Growing up in Gothenburg, Sweden, the food in school was generally nothing to call home about, especially not the fish ones, but there was this one fish dish that I liked and it had some sort of almond covering. I found a recipe in a kids cook book a few years back and made a more grown-up version of it. It is simple and quick! Served with oven roasted root vegetables and maybe a dollop of lemon mayonnaise.
Ingredients
500g of haddock (or cod or any other white fish)
2 garlic cloves (or 1 large)
10g chopped parsley
1 dl breadcrumbs
1 dl of almonds
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
Add chopped garlic, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, almonds, salt and rape seed oil in a food processor and whiz until blended.
Put the fish in an oven-proof dish and spread the fish with the almond pesto. Leave to cook in the oven for 15 mins. It smells divine when it is cooking. Serve with oven roasted root vegetables like sweet potato, parsnips and carrots.
