Salad with cod, onion, egg

Salad with cod, onion, and egg is a simple yet exquisite representative of Russian cuisine, distinguished by its rich flavor and texture. Smoked cod gives it a deep aroma with a slight saltiness that harmonizes with the freshness of the onion and the tenderness of the boiled egg. Mayonnaise binds the ingredients into a creamy mass, creating a rich yet balanced taste. This salad can serve as both an independent dish and a wonderful addition to a festive table. Its roots trace back to traditional fish appetizers from northern regions of Russia, where smoked fish has always been an important part of the diet. It pairs especially well with black bread or potatoes, enhancing its cozy and rich character.
