Fish baked with orange is an exquisite dish of Russian cuisine, where tender fish is infused with a refreshing citrus aroma. It is based on a simple yet brilliant idea: combining seafood with the sweet-sour notes of orange. This recipe could have emerged in culinary traditions striving for a balance of flavors – sour, sweet, salty, and spicy in one dish. Mayonnaise adds tenderness while pepper adds spiciness, creating a harmonious ensemble. Fish baked this way pairs perfectly with rice or fresh vegetables, making it an excellent option for dinner or a festive table. Each piece is filled with sunny warmth, evoking memories of summer days and a cozy atmosphere.
