Nutritional values

Its richness in protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances is an absolute plus for the noble pike-perch. The appetisingly colourful vegetables also provide plenty of fibre and replenish the vitamin C storage for the whole day.

This refined dish is the perfect low-carb meal! But if you would like to have satisfying carbohydrates with it, it is best served with small potatoes in their jackets or with ribbon noodles.
