Hake with puree is a simple yet incredibly delicious dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish and the lightness of mashed potatoes. Hake, fried to a crispy golden crust, retains its juiciness and rich flavor, while the puree made with milk adds softness and richness to the dish. The origins of this dish trace back to traditional home cooking, where simple, accessible, and nutritious recipes are valued. The onion simmering on the fried fish adds a special piquancy, while salt and spices enhance the natural taste of the ingredients. It is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a light lunch, delighting with its harmonious combination of textures and aromas.
