Ingredients

• Recipe:
• fish fillet – 4 pcs
• onion – 2 pcs
• tomatoes – 2 pcs
• salt – to taste
• fish seasoning – to taste
• cheese – 50 g
• Sauce:
• soured cream – 3 tbsp
• mustard – 1 tbsp
• garlic – 2 cloves

Method

1. Step 1

   To prepare fish according to this recipe, any non-fatty fillet is suitable, I took pelengas (mullet), but hake, for example, will work perfectly. Thanks to vegetables, the fish is filled with their aroma, and the delicate sauce maintains tenderness and juiciness.

   
2. Step 2

   You can buy ready-made fillets, or you can fillet the fish carcass yourself - to do this, you need to cut it along the ridge with a sharp knife and carefully remove it from the bones. If you keep the carcass in the freezer for 15 minutes, the cutting process will be much easier.

   
3. Step 3

   Sprinkle the fillet with fish seasoning and leave for about 20 minutes. If you use the seasoning with salt, you do not need additional salt. I used seasoning without salt, so I added salt to taste. If there is no seasoning, it doesn’t matter, you can use your favorite spices, for example coriander, dried garlic, ginger are great for fish.

   
4. Step 4

   Cover the baking tray with baking parchment. You can put small sheets of pita bread under the fish, and then everything else - so you can eat it like a ready-made sandwich. Place onion, cut into rings, on parchment or pita bread.

   
5. Step 5

   Place the fillet on top of the onion, skin side down. Place tomato slices on the fillet.

   
6. Step 6

   Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Gently spread the sauce onto the cheese with a spoon: mix soured cream, mustard (ready-made, not powder) and chopped garlic.

   
7. Step 7

   That's it - put it in an oven preheated to 180° for 30 minutes until the top is browned. We look at your oven - after all, everyone’s oven is different and the baking time may vary.
