4 servings
45 minutes
Baked Brussels sprouts with fish and tomatoes is an elegant dish of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of cod, the freshness of vegetables, and the rich flavor of cheese. Historically, recipes with fish and cream originated in coastal regions of France, where the harmony of simple yet rich ingredients is appreciated. The taste of the dish is refined, with a slight sweetness from the Brussels sprouts, juiciness from the tomatoes, and an airy creamy-egg sauce. Baking gives it a special texture: the sprouts retain their firmness while the fish becomes soft and aromatic. This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of white wine and will elegantly adorn a festive table.
