40 minutes
Baked river perch without scaling is a simple and traditional dish of Russian cuisine that preserves the juiciness and rich flavor of the fish. This cooking method was popular among fishermen and villagers as it saves time and effort. Baking perch with onions and mayonnaise gives it aromatic tenderness and softness. The crispy baked scales easily separate, leaving delicious meat underneath. The dish is perfect for a family dinner and pairs well with potato sides or fresh vegetables.
