Red fish baked in foil with potatoes is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity of preparation with rich flavor. Historically, baking in foil was used to preserve the juiciness of the fish and its intense aroma. Salmon infused with spices, lemon, and fresh herbs becomes tender with subtle citrus notes, while the potatoes turn soft and fragrant as they absorb the fish's juices. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner or family gathering as it requires no complex processes but delights with a harmony of flavors. Baking in foil retains all the beneficial properties of the ingredients, and serving it directly in the package adds coziness and tradition to the meal. A magnificent choice for connoisseurs of classics and natural flavors!
