Ruff in Japanese
4 servings
60 minutes
The perch in Japanese cuisine is a refined dish that combines the freshness of river fish with the sophistication of Japanese cooking. Its roots can be found in the traditions of Japanese fish casseroles, where tender fish fillet is subtly accented with citrus notes. The perch fillet is marinated with lemon and spices, acquiring a light tanginess and richness of flavor. Baked fish with mandarin slices, fragrant parsley, and creamy Gruyère cheese creates a unique balance of sweetness and saltiness. The creamy texture of sour cream ties all components together, making the dish wonderfully juicy. It pairs perfectly with rice, highlighting the Japanese style of presentation. The dish not only delights the palate but also offers aesthetic pleasure through its vibrant color combination.
