Stewed fish under marinade

6 servings

60 minutes

Stewed fish in marinade is a classic Russian dish that combines the tenderness of fish with the rich flavor of vegetable marinade. Historically, it emerged as a way to prolong the freshness of fish but became popular over time due to the harmony of flavors. The mild-tasting pollock absorbs the aroma of sautéed vegetables, tomato paste, and vinegar, creating an exquisite blend of light acidity and sweetness from carrots. The marinade makes the dish juicy and piquant while spices enhance its depth. Stewed fish is good both hot and cold, served with a side or on its own. It is perfect for family dinners as well as festive tables, bringing warmth and coziness of Russian cuisine.
