The combination of fish and broccoli may be associated with a simple, steamed meal that does not evoke enthusiasm. However, a way to completely change this association is to bake the fish with an unusual crumble topping. This prepared dish will surely surprise any gourmet.

Fish under a crunchy crumble is a dish that will convince even those who usually avoid fish on their plate. This recipe combines many diverse ingredients to create a unique taste. On one side, the fish is enveloped in melted garlic butter; on the other, it is surrounded by slightly crunchy vegetables. It's all topped with a crumble, not just an ordinary one. Sounds tempting, right?

Idea for sunday dinner: Fish with broccoli crumble

Fish with broccoli crumble is the perfect idea for a Sunday dinner. The delicious crumble makes an impression. Forget about breaded or baked fish without any extras. A few basic ingredients you likely have in your refrigerator are enough to create a simple yet impressive dish. Fish with broccoli and a tasty crumble is a suggestion that will surely suit your liking.

You can serve the fish with crumble and boiled potatoes or grains – buckwheat, bulgur, or barley. Don’t forget a portion of fresh vegetables. A salad made of Napa cabbage will work perfectly, as it pairs well with almost any dish. An excellent choice would also be a bold sauerkraut salad; fish loves this combination.
