Your favourite white fish baked slowly and easily. What goes with it? A fresh salad of cucumbers, onions and corn, with a quick vinaigrette made with fire vinegar. That's what we suggest with this simple recipe, which you can pretty much prepare in snap!
Did you know? Fire vinegar is an ingenious blend of Maison Orphée cider vinegar and sweet herbs skilfully cultivated and selected by the creators of Les Jardins de la Minga, in Charlevoix. For a salad that borders on perfection, it doesn't get much better than this!
