Nutritional values

Like all sea fish, the appetising red mullets provide a good portion of protein and supply us with the unsaturated fatty acids that are so important for the heart and blood vessels.

Despite their name, the delicious fish are by no means related to the barbels, but to the perch. Most red mullets originate from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; in Mediterranean countries they are accordingly often found on the grill or in the pan.

Preparation

Kitchen utensils

1 Cutting board, 1 Small knife, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Small skillet, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 large non-stick Skillet, 1 Slotted spatula, 1 Baking sheet, 1 Parchment paper, 1 Teaspoon, 1 Paper towel

1.
Red Mullet preparation step 1

Rinse lime and lemon in hot water, wipe dry and cut into slices. Rinse lemon thyme and shake dry.

2.
Red Mullet preparation step 2

Toast almonds in a small, dry pan over medium heat until golden brown. Rinse fish, pat dry and season with salt and pepper.

3.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the fish fillets, skin-side down, and cook until browned underneath, 2-3 minutes, then turn fish and cook until other side is browned, about 1 minute more.
