- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Olive oil
Preparation for the Fish
- Clean the fish thoroughly, rinse it well, and place it in a baking dish.

Preparation for the Rice
- In a shallow pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion for 2 minutes.

- Just before turning off the heat, add the butter and stir well to melt, then remove from heat.

- 5-6 lettuce leaves, finely chopped
- 2 sprigs of dill, finely chopped
- 1 fresh spring onion, finely chopped
