Introduction

Got it in Epicurious and it's become one of my favorite recipies.

yield: Serves 4

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from French Women Don't Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano.

I didn't much care for fish when I was growing up, but I loved nuts. My mother knew both were essential for good nutrition, so she invented this way of slipping in the fish.
