Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the fish fillet and dab dry. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Salt and leave to stand. Sort the spinach, wash it several times thoroughly and let it drain. Peel and finely chop the onions. Heat 20 g fat in a saucepan and fry the onions in it until transparent. Add the spinach, heat it up and let it collapse.

    Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove about 1/3 of the spinach from the pot with a skimmer and let it cool down. Remove the crusts from the bread and chop finely in the universal chopper. Mix in egg, egg yolk and crème fraiche. Season with salt and pepper. Place foil on a baking tray. Press approx. half of the bread mass as thin as possible 1-2 cm larger than the fish fillet on the foil. Cover with spinach and place the drained fish fillet in the middle. Cover the fish with spinach and press the remaining bread dough onto it. Carefully remove the foil so that the fish tips over onto the tray. Press into shape again and spread the remaining fat in flakes on the bread crust. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200°C / gas: level 3) for approx. 25 minutes. In the meantime wash, halve and seed the tomatoes.
