Fried cod with pea puree & caramelized onions

Fried cod with pea puree & caramelized onions is a light but aromatic fish dish. The butter-tender cod gets a crispy crust from the frying, while the pea puree provides a creamy, slightly sweet freshness. The caramelized onions add a hearty depth to the dish.
Perfect wine accompaniment
Sauvignon Blanc, Grüner Veltliner or Chardonnay offer just the right balance of acidity, freshness and fruit to counterbalance the roasted aromas and slight sweetness.
➡ A perfect dish for anyone who wants to enjoy a sophisticated but simple fish dish with wine!
