🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap the sour cream for a plain plant-based yogurt or skip it and add extra lemon for freshness. To avoid wheat or tree nuts, use gluten-free crumbs instead of panko and leave out the almonds, or replace them with toasted seeds.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or a simple tomato-and-herb salad to brighten the rich spices. Warm flatbread or a yogurt-based dip also works well if you want extra comfort and a fuller plate.
