Ingredients
Wash and dry the soles then season. Dip each into the egg and almond and Parmesan coating. Fry in medium-hot oil, until crisp, golden and just cooked.
Drain on a wire rack then serve with the creamy Swiss chard.
To make the creamy Swiss chard: Drop the chard into a saucepan of salted boiling water. Blanch for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well then squeeze out any excess water. Blend with the crème fraîche, garlic and seasoning. Reheat for serving.
Cook’s note:
If you’re in a hurry, use frozen creamed spinach and for special occasions use medallions of veal fillet instead of fish.
