Fish in foil is a refined yet simple dish of Russian cuisine that carefully preserves the juiciness and aroma of seafood. Historically, baking in foil was used to retain all the flavor nuances of the ingredients. Red fish soaked in lemon juice and spices becomes tender, while added tomatoes and onions give it a special touch of sweetness and spiciness. Bay leaf emphasizes traditional notes of Russian cuisine. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or festive table as it is easy to prepare but looks impressive. Serving it with a glass of white wine and fresh herbs creates a harmonious gastronomic ensemble. Baking at 180-200°C preserves the beneficial properties of fish, making it not only tasty but also healthy.
