🥚Eggs🐟Fish🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, skip the cheese and use a dairy-free topper or just the seed crust for a similar savory finish. For egg-free or lighter preferences, replace the mayonnaise-based dressing with a simple vinaigrette; gluten-free eaters can swap the breadcrumb coating for certified gluten-free crumbs.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple grain or roasted potatoes to make it more filling, plus extra lemon wedges or a crisp green vegetable for a brighter plate. A chilled white wine, sparkling water, or cucumber salad also suits the salty-sweet crust and fresh salad.
