Here is one last recipe idea before the end of year celebrations… This Cider Braised Fish with Bacon and Shallot will be perfect if you don’t know what to serve during your family meal because it is very simple and quick to prepare.
In addition, it will make an excellent light dish in your Christmas menu whether there are 4 of you at the table or a large family… Everyone at our house loved it, adults and children alike…
You can choose any fish you want, but for this festive version I used fresh salmon and cod.
For cooking, if your fish is covered in cider, it will be much better because it will be very tender once cooked this way. So be sure to place the pieces of fish at the bottom of your dish, as in the photo, and not to overlap them.
