Fish fillets in potato crust - quick lunch
Fish fillets in potato crust is a popular dish of Italian cuisine. Thanks to the protection of the potato (which, in fact, creates a crust around the fish), the fish fillets retain their juiciness and enhance the aroma of all the ingredients. Since this recipe is very simple and its preparation is quick, it is an ideal candidate for a quick lunch.
Of course, it goes without saying that you always use fresh fish for preparation. You can use various types of fish, such as: sea bream, sea bass, toothfish, trout, etc.
We tried this great recipe at the Arlu restaurant (Arlu Ristorante San Pietro) in Rome. In Italian, the name of this recipe is Filet di orata in crosta di patate (sea bream fillets in potato crust). And we can confirm that it is excellent!
