Fish with saffron and creamy sauce is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of seafood with deep aromas. The creamy saffron sauce gives the fish a rich flavor with a hint of spice, highlighting its natural juiciness. The dish's history roots back to the gastronomic traditions of the Mediterranean, where saffron was used to impart a noble golden hue and refined aroma to food. Steaming preserves all the texture and beneficial properties of the ingredients, making it light and nutritious. Scallops add a subtle sweetness while green onions provide freshness to the final taste. This dish is perfect for special occasions when one wants to enjoy an elegant yet simple culinary composition.
