- 35 Min.Preparation time
- 2Portions
Char fillets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large boned char fillets
- wild garlic salt, lemon juice
Creamy polenta
- 30 g butter or olive oil
- 60 g Steirerkraft fine-grain polenta
- 350 ml soup
- salt, nutmeg
- 1 tbsp chopped herbs to taste
Optional to taste
- 2 tbsp cream
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan
Pine nut paste
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley, lovage or basil
- olive oil as required
- 1 drizzle of lemon juice
- coarse sea salt
Preparation
- Mix the herbs with the pine nuts, add a little olive oil and chop into small pieces with a hand-held blender. Season with salt and lemon juice and add sufficient olive oil to create a creamy consistency.
- Preparing the fish fillets: Lightly salt the fish fillets and sprinkle with a little lemon juice.
Heat some olive oil in a pan and cook the fillets on the skin side over a medium heat for a few minutes. Then turn and remove the pan from the hob. - Preparing the creamy polenta: Melt the butter in a pan, add the polenta and leave to sweat for a short time. Pour on the cold soup and cook over a moderate heat until creamy. Stir throughout and at the end, add the chopped herbs.
- For a more intense flavour, add cream and grated Parmesan.
- Roast vegetables such as halved tomatoes, zucchini and aubergine slices, spring onions and garlic in olive oil. Serve the creamy polenta on plates, place the fish fillets on top and add the roasted vegetables and pine nut paste.
This is my tip
Like risotto, the creamy polenta should be served immediately. If you leave it to stand, it will lose its creaminess.
