Cod / Hake Cream

To prepare a delicious fish cream, we will start by choosing fresh fish fillets, such as salmon or cod, which are perfect for this recipe. In a heated pan, we add a little olive oil that will provide a pleasant taste and help in the even frying of the fish. We carefully place the fish fillets in the pan and add a whole clove of garlic, which will infuse the dish with its intense aroma. To intensify the flavor, we cover the fish with milk, which will not only help in its cooking but also contribute to achieving a creamy texture. We let everything simmer on low heat, being careful not to boil, but to cook slowly so that the fish remains juicy and tasty. As time passes, we will observe how the milk evaporates, leaving behind a flavorful sauce that will enrich the cream. When the fish is fully cooked and the milk has reduced considerably, we remove the garlic from the pan and transfer the fish to a large bowl. It’s time to add salt to taste, which will enhance the flavors, along with a splash of olive oil for better consistency. Using a mixer, we start to blend the mixture until we obtain a fluffy and smooth fish cream, perfect for spreading on bread. To finish the dish, we add freshly ground pepper, which will provide an extra flavor and a slight spiciness, bringing a note of freshness. It is important to taste the cream and adjust the seasonings if necessary, to ensure that every bite is delicious. At serving time, we can prepare two slices of fresh bread, which we lightly toast on one side until they become crispy and golden. These warm slices of bread will be the perfect base for the fish cream. We generously spread the cream on the toasted bread slices and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, which will add not only color but also a fresh aroma. We serve the dish cold, as a refined snack for any occasion, being an excellent choice to impress guests. This simple yet sophisticated recipe will bring a touch of elegance to your table.
