30 minutes

Baked bream, carp, and catfish are a classic dish of European cuisine that combines simplicity in preparation with delightful taste. Fish marinated in lightly salted milk becomes tender and soft, while coating in flour adds an appetizing crispy crust. Baking with butter reveals the depth of flavor, giving the fish a fragrant and juicy aftertaste. The dish pairs perfectly with boiled potatoes or fluffy mashed potatoes, while fresh parsley adds a touch of freshness. It's an excellent choice for family dinners or festive gatherings, allowing you to enjoy the rich flavor of river fish at its best.
