Instructions

  1. Thaw the fish, peel the quince and cut into wedges, cook in boiling salt and lemon water for about 10 minutes, then drain. Trim, wash and cut the leek into pieces.
  2. Bring 250 ml of water, vinegar, a pinch of sugar, salt, bay leaves and juniper berries to a boil. Add the fish, let simmer for approx. 12 minutes on a low heat (do not boil!).
  3. In the meantime, melt the remaining sugar in a dry pan. Deglaze with approx. 250 ml water while stirring, season with salt and pepper. Put the quinces in the caramel sauce and cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Heat the oil in a pan and stew the leek for 2 minutes. Add to the quince and cook a little more.
  5. Sprinkle the vegetables and fish with pepper on a platter. Garnish with dill and lemon wedges if you like. This goes well with rice, for example.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
