Flounder baked with horseradish is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish with the spicy sharpness of horseradish. The flounder, soaked in vinegar and baked to a golden crust, acquires a soft, delicate taste. The aromatic sauce made from grated horseradish, apple, and sour cream adds a light sweetness to the dish, balancing its richness. This combination of ingredients makes the fish not only incredibly tasty but also healthy. Historically, dishes with horseradish are popular in Russian cuisine due to its healing properties and refreshing flavor. Flounder baked with horseradish is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family lunch, especially when served with potato garnish or fresh vegetables.
