Fish fillet and scallops in green peppercorn sauce

Fish fillet accompanied by scallops in a green peppercorn sauce is a dish that combines delicate and exquisite flavors, highly valued in the cuisines of various countries. This type of preparation has its origins in French gastronomy, where sauces based on peppercorns are very common to enhance the flavor of seafood and fish. In Latin America, although it is not always prepared exactly the same, similar dishes can be found under names such as "fish in pepper sauce" or "seafood in creamy sauce." Each region adapts the recipe according to its local ingredients, but the essence is always the same: to highlight the tenderness of the fish and scallops with a spicy and aromatic touch of green pepper.

In countries like Mexico, Colombia, or Argentina, the dish may vary slightly in terms of the sauce or spices used, but the prominence of fresh fish and scallops remains. Green pepper, less known than black pepper, provides a fresh flavor and a subtle aroma that enhances the seafood without overpowering it. This recipe is ideal for those looking for a sophisticated and easy-to-prepare dish, perfect for special occasions or an elegant dinner.
