Remarks
For the photos, I used salmon and pollack, but other fish are just as good, so you can use your imagimation.
Like all slow-cooked dishes, this can be reheated and gets better each time.

As you can see, there's very little added sugar in this recipe, so it's a very chocolatey and bitter-sweet tart. November 16th 2013299 K 15 2 hours 30 min.
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.
