Treat your ingredients with care...

• Rombo fish — Make sure to pat the fish fillets dry before marinating them to ensure the herbs stick well to the surface.
• Skyr — If skyr is not available, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt for a similar creamy texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra crispy texture, you can lightly coat the marinated fish fillets with flour or breadcrumbs before pan-frying.
• Serve the Kissuto Rombo with a side of roasted Icelandic potatoes for a complete meal.
• Adjust the amount of herbs and spices according to your personal taste preferences.

Serving advice

Serve the Kissuto Rombo with Icelandic Twist as a main course, accompanied by a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Drizzle the skyr sauce generously over the fish fillets for added creaminess and flavor.

Presentation advice

Arrange the pan-fried Rombo fish fillets on a platter, garnished with fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges. Place a small bowl of skyr sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
