- Preparation: 200 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (373 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Pescatarian, Dairy-free

Ingredients
- 130 g White fish fillets (cod or pollock), raw
- 8 g Flour, for coating
- 16 g Rapeseed oil (for frying and the vegetables)
- 60 g Carrot
- 25 g Parsley root (or parsnip)
- 30 g Celeriac
- 35 g Onion
- 50 g Water
- 15 g Tomato paste (koncentrat)
- 0.1 g Bay leaf
- 0.2 g Allspice
- 0.5 g Sweet paprika
- 2 g Sugar
- 1 g Salt
- 0.1 g Black pepper
Method
- Cut the fish into serving pieces, season them with a little of the salt and pepper and leave them for 10 minutes.
- Grate the carrot, parsley root and celeriac coarsely, and chop the onion finely.
- Heat half the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft, then add the grated vegetables and the water, cover and stew over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft.
- Stir in the tomato paste, the bay leaf and the allspice and cook for 5 minutes more. Season with the rest of the salt and pepper, the paprika and the sugar: the vegetables should be rich with tomato, slightly sweet and a little tangy.
- Pat the fish dry, coat it in the flour and fry it in the rest of the oil for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Drain it on kitchen paper.
- Lay the fish in a dish and cover it completely with the warm vegetables.
- Leave it to cool, then cover and chill it for at least 3 hours, best overnight, so the fish takes up the sauce. Serve it cold: it is one of the dishes of the Polish Christmas Eve supper, Wigilia.
