About

I think cold fish first courses are often a good idea because they can taste really delicious but in no way fill you up. This is a dish which you can make very pretty with the fish and carrots arranged in stripes or in circles on a round dish – and it can be made well in advance.

Ingredients

1 lb cod fillets (with any black skin taken off (450 g)
¾ lb carrots
