A fresh fish casserole featuring Swiss chard and shrimp, inspired by the original recipe from Spoonsparrow.

Ingredients

  • 400 g small cod fillets (4 fillets)
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp Curry powder
  • salt to taste
  • cayenne pepper to taste
  • 400 g Swiss chard
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 100 g shrimp
  • 100 g Sour cream
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 4 tbsp rolled oats
  • oil for greasing the dish

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash and pat dry the cod fillets. Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, curry powder, salt, and cayenne pepper; rub this mixture onto the fish and let marinate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, clean and wash the Swiss chard, separating stems from leaves. Slice stems into thin strips and roughly chop the leaves.

  2. 2.

    Sauté the stem strips in oil until tender, then cover and steam for 5–10 minutes. Add the wet leaves, season with salt and cayenne pepper, and cook for an additional minute. Let everything cool. Preheat the oven to 225 °C (437 °F). Grease a baking dish and spread the chard mixture inside.

  3. 3.

    Drain the cod fillets and place them in the dish; sprinkle shrimp on top. Mix sour cream, egg yolk, oats, and one tablespoon of the reserved marinade; let it thicken for 5 minutes. Spread this mixture over the fish. Bake in the oven (mid‑rack, fan‑forced 200 °C) for 12–15 minutes until the surface is lightly browned.
