Baked trout with potatoes is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish with the softness of aromatic potatoes. This recipe may have originated in alpine regions where trout is a common guest at the table. The flavor of the dish is deep and rich: juicy fish is infused with a creamy oregano sauce, while the browned cheese adds zest. The creamy texture of the cream makes it particularly enjoyable, and garlic oil imparts a subtle, enticing aroma. Baked trout is not only a great choice for family dinners but also an excellent treat for festive tables.
