Fish with broccoli crumble: A gourmet twist on a classic dish

The combination of fish and broccoli may evoke images of a simple, steamed meal that hardly sparks excitement. However, there's a way to transform this perception completely: baking the fish with an unconventional crumble topping. This preparation is sure to surprise any gourmet.

Fish with a crunchy crumble is a dish that can convert even those who typically shy away from seafood. This recipe melds a variety of ingredients to create a unique flavour. On one hand, the fish is bathed in melted garlic butter; on the other, it's surrounded by lightly crunchy vegetables. The entire dish is topped with a crumble that goes beyond the ordinary. Tempting.

Fish with broccoli crumble is the perfect idea for a Friday dinner. The delicious crumble truly leaves an impression. Forget about breaded or baked fish without any extras. You can create a simple yet impressive dish with just a few basic ingredients, likely already in your refrigerator. Fish with broccoli and a tasty crumble is a suggestion that suits your liking.

You can serve the fish with crumble alongside boiled potatoes or grains like buckwheat, bulgur, or barley. Don’t forget a portion of fresh vegetables. A salad made from Napa cabbage will pair perfectly, as it complements nearly any dish. Another excellent choice would be a bold sauerkraut salad - fish pairs wonderfully with it.
