If you are still hesitant about what main dish to serve on the festive table so that it does not devastate your family budget, then pike perch will be the most profitable solution. Fish in the oven is cooked with a side dish - boiled rice. It looks amazing on a platter. Rice hill surrounded by slices of fish, and all covered with sauce, where the tenderness of the cream intertwined with a subtle note of white wine.

Mmm, lick your fingers. But let's cook. For this dish, you need to stock up on 600-800 grams of pike perch fillet.

Separately cook crumbly rice porridge from a glass of cereal. To make pike perch in the oven delicious, you must first marinate it a little. To do this, squeeze the juice from one lemon into a bowl. Mix it with a pinch of s alt and black pepper. We put our skinless fillet in this marinade and leave it to soak for a quarter of an hour. Finely chop the onion andsauté in butter for 2-3 minutes. When the onion is browned, add boiled rice. S alt, pepper and pour in half a glass of white wine and heavy cream.

Turn on the oven to 190 degrees. Grease a deep frying pan without a handle (so that it fits in the oven) with oil. We take the fish out of the marinade and lay it with a ring around the edges. In the center, pour a slide of rice with sauce. Pike perch is baked in the oven for about a quarter of an hour, and then the fire is turned off. But the door is not opened for another 10 minutes to allow the fish to finish cooking with residual heat.

While pike perch is baking in the oven, let's not waste time. We make sauce. In another pan, dissolve three tablespoons of butter, pour in half a glass of white wine. Season with s alt, saffron (or turmeric), black pepper. Stirring, simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Then pour in a glass of cream and simmer for about five more minutes. Three on a fine grater 50 g of hard cheese. We take the fish out of the oven, put it on a dish. Preferably in the same way as it was placed in the pan: rice in the middle, pike perch in a circle. Pour sauce over, sprinkle with cheese and serve immediately.

Pike perch in the oven can be cooked not with rice, but with mushrooms, for example, with champignons. To do this, the fish must first be lightly baked for about 10 minutes. Mushroom plates (about 100-200 g) are mixed with chopped onion rings, pepper and s alt. Pour two tablespoons of water into the pan and simmer the mushrooms for about 10 minutes. We take out the pike perch from the oven, cover"blanket" of mushroom mass, pour a glass of sour cream and sprinkle with coarsely grated hard cheese. After that, return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until a golden crust appears on the “cap”.

Pike perch in the oven is cooked entirely according to a slightly different principle. We make an incision along the back of the fish, take out the skeleton and entrails, but so that the peritoneum remains intact. Rub the carcass with s alt, pepper, sprinkle with lemon juice. Separately, in vegetable oil, fry the diced potatoes until golden brown. Mix it with finely chopped dill and garlic. With this mass we stuff pike perch. We chop off the edges of the back of the fish with toothpicks and bake for half an hour in the oven until cooked. Decorate the finished dish with lettuce and olives.
