Hake steaks with onions, tomatoes, and grated cheese are a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity of preparation with rich flavor. Hake, known for its tender texture and light sea aroma, becomes especially juicy after baking in the oven. Slices of onion add a slight sweetness and spiciness, while ripe tomatoes bring freshness and a hint of acidity. The composition is completed by Gruyère cheese, which melts to form an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a light festive table.
