Do turbot and bread go together?

Yes. 129 recipes in our collection combine them, and they share 10 flavor molecules. That places them in the top 23% of every ingredient pair we score.

Why they work

They overlap on 10 flavor molecules: 22% of turbot's 46. Among the shared key aromas are 1-octen-3-ol (mushroom, earthy) and octanal (fat, soap). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.
