50 minutes
Serbian trout is a refined dish of Serbian cuisine that combines the freshness of river fish with rich aromas of spices and fruits. Historically, fish has held an important place in Serbian gastronomy, especially in river-rich regions. In this recipe, the trout is infused with the sweet flavor of prunes that unfolds during baking, while a fragrant sauce made from parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and egg adds tenderness and zest to the dish. Baked trout has a soft texture and a slightly sweet-sour taste, making it an excellent choice for both festive dinners and everyday meals. The dish is served hot, garnished with lemon slices that add freshness and highlight the rich flavor of the fish.
