Pikeperch (zander) with spinach cream

In my local supermarket they had beautiful and fresh pikeperch filets during the weekend (in German Zander) so the decision about our Sunday lunch was clear from the beginning. I believe that fish dont need many extras and I always prefer simple preparation which emphasises the taste of each ingredient. So here is my recipe for pikeperch and spinach cream. 




Ingredients

  • 350g pikeperch
  • salt, pepper, olive oil
  • 30g butter
  • lemon juice 
  • 300g spinach
  • 3 middle sized potatoes
  • 20g butter
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 100ml of cream

Directions

Season the fish with salt and pepper and massage the olive oil in. Put the baking paper on a baking pan and squeeze the lemon above the fish. Bake it for about 20 minutes in the oven at 180°C. Use the grilling programm to reach the golden colour. For the last 5 minutes cut the butter to thin pieces and let it melt on the fish. 

Fry the onion and garlic on melted butter in a frying pan, add the spinach and boiled potatoes (cut them into smaller pieces) and add the cream after a while. Wait till the cream is boiling and season it with salt and pepper. Blend everything with the blender.
