I am not one to seek out ‘fish’ recipes as I always think that I don’t do justice to them. But there are exceptions! I saw the preparation of this dish on ‘Food Paradise’ which to my knowledge, does not post recipes, so I cobbled this together from the ingredients that the chef listed and used, and I love it! We ate it two days in a row, and I still have another portion that I have frozen. Watch for this recipe re-incarnated as a voile-a-vent!
