Smelt with Potato and Beetroot Salad

The trusted fishmonger has smelt and convinces me that I don’t need a deep fryer to process this small fish. I’m working in the kitchen today anyway, so the evening meal can be small.

I take 3 of the small fish with me and prepare them as follows:

• 2 potatoes
• 1 beet
• 1 egg

boil each and cut into cubes. With

• 1 small red onion, shaved into thin slices
• 3 tablespoons arugula sprouts
• 5 tablespoons vinaigrette of apple cider vinegar and olive oil 2:3 and pepper/salt

mix, allow to infuse and season to taste. I lightly flour the fish and fry it in butter for 2-3 minutes on each side. The light dinner is ready!
