Puff pastry pie with fish and rice is a true reflection of Russian cuisine, combining simplicity of preparation with richness of flavor. Its roots go back to the traditions of northern peoples where fish has always been a main ingredient on the table. The crispy golden crust hides a tender filling of aromatic fish, fluffy rice, and sweet fried onions. Parsley adds freshness and lightness, while the carefully arranged layers make the pie aesthetically appealing. It is versatile: suitable for festive gatherings or cozy family dinners. Served hot or cold, it retains its rich taste and texture. The flavor of this pie is a harmonious blend of airy dough and soft, spice-infused fish that leaves a pleasant aftertaste and evokes a desire for another piece.
