Fish and broccoli crumble: A surprising twist on a classic dish

The combination of fish and broccoli may evoke thoughts of a simple, steamed meal that lacks excitement. However, baking the fish with an unusual crumble topping can transform this dish entirely. Prepared in this manner, the dish will surely surprise even the most discerning food lover.

Fish with a crunchy crumble topping is a dish that can win over even those who typically avoid seafood. This recipe combines various ingredients that create a unique, delicious flavour. On one hand, the fish is enveloped in melted garlic butter; on the other, it is surrounded by slightly crunchy vegetables. The entire dish is topped with a special crumble that is anything but ordinary. Tempting.

Fish with broccoli crumble is the perfect idea for a Friday dinner. The delicious crumble leaves a lasting impression. Forget about breaded or baked fish without any extras. You can create a simple yet impressive dish with just a few basic ingredients that you likely already have in your refrigerator. Fish with broccoli and a tasty crumble is sure to be a hit.

You can serve the fish and crumble with boiled potatoes or groats such as buckwheat, bulgur, or barley. Don't forget a portion of fresh vegetables. A Napa cabbage salad pairs well with almost any dish, and a bold sauerkraut salad would also be an excellent choice—fish loves this combination.
