Fish baked with vegetables and cheese is an elegant dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish, the aroma of vegetables, and a delicious cheesy crust. Historically, such recipes originated in coastal regions where fresh fish was always available. Frying the fillet in an egg mixture gives it an airy texture, while onions and tomatoes add pleasant juiciness. The finishing touch is melted cheese that imparts a rich flavor to the dish. It’s an ideal option for a family dinner or festive table as it looks impressive and has a harmonious taste. The fish can be served with herbs and white wine to highlight its refined gastronomic essence.
