Mirror carp baked with potatoes and tomatoes is a classic dish of Russian cuisine that combines the rich flavor of fish, the tenderness of potatoes, and the juiciness of tomatoes. Baking in sour cream sauce makes the fish especially soft, aromatic, and infused with spices. Carp has been popular in Russian gastronomy since ancient times and was considered festive for celebrations. Oregano adds subtle herbal notes to the dish while baked onions contribute a sweet touch. This dish is not only appetizing but also nutritious, making it perfect for a cozy family dinner or a festive feast. It is served hot and its flavor pairs wonderfully with fresh green vegetables or light white wine.
