Technique to learn

Mustard Crusting

Using whole grain mustard as a flavor binder to adhere dry breadcrumbs onto lean fish fillets prior to high-heat baking.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 1:

Step 2: Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and lay them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Brush the top of each cod fillet evenly with German brown mustard.

Step 4: In a small bowl, mix dark rye breadcrumbs with melted butter and press the mixture firmly onto the mustard-coated cod.

Step 5: Bake cod for 12 to 14 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6: Toss sliced cucumbers with sour cream, apple vinegar, fresh dill, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until combined, then serve cold beside the hot baked cod.

Cooking tips

Salt the sliced cucumbers 10 minutes prior and drain excess liquid for an extra crunchy salad texture.
Use fresh dark rye bread pulsed into coarse crumbs for the best crunchy texture.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by German; regional versions vary.
