April has arrived – it’s time to prepare trout! 0 12

Latvian chef and taste representative of Maxima Latvija, Raimonds Zommers, shared a recipe for cooking sea trout with asparagus, which allows you to create two exquisite dishes from one fish.

The culinary expert specifies that in this recipe, you can use fresh fish of various types – salmon, halibut, or trout. The latter is sold at a 43% discount at Maxima Latvija until April 22, priced at €12.99 per kilogram.

- Home-cooked meals are undoubtedly tastier, – emphasizes the chef. – However, in the daily hustle and bustle, many Latvians simply lack the time to prepare interesting dishes. Therefore, it is worth looking for solutions that combine three important aspects: convenience, quality, and savings. At Maxima Latvija, you can often find a variety of fresh fish at special offers, which can be cooked in various ways.

I suggest you try my recipe; I assure you, the process will take no more than 20 minutes. I emphasize: for this dish, or rather two, you can use different types of fish – halibut, trout, or salmon.

Fish broth can be made from parts of the fish such as the head, tail, and fins. From this valuable broth, you can create a great soup as you wish. Healthy fish broth can be frozen and kept in the freezer in case you need a quick meal.
