Very tasty fish ideal for a festive table

The pearl of the mediterranean

Since time immemorial, fish dishes have been on Lithuanian tables during the winter holidays. Many families still maintain the Advent custom and do not try meat dishes on Christmas Eve. Instead, they often serve herring prepared in various ways, dried, salted or smoked fish, mixed or meal dishes with fish, and the large plate is often made into fried fish.

Fish lovers love to make dorado, often called the pearl of the Mediterranean, both on vacation and during larger gatherings or special dinners. This fish is distinguished not only by the fact that it has relatively few fine bones, but also by the possible variations of the dishes, which are accompanied by a pleasant and expressive taste.

Dorad can be fried, boiled, stewed, and this is often done without removing the head and tail of the fish. This fish is usually served with rice, potatoes and vegetables. Various spices, lemon and herbs are used for its preparation. Mayonnaise-based hot sauces are also great for seasoning fish with a mild flavor.

For a festive Christmas lunch: fried sea bream with vegetables and Tartar sauce

Food blogger Asta Černė, better known for home cooking as “Sunny Kitchen,” constantly experiments in the kitchen to create unique recipes. This time, he delighted his readers with an easy-to-make browning recipe that he said would be perfect for the festive Christmas table.

A. Černė says that one of the main details of this dish is Tartar sauce that perfectly complements the combination of baked fish and vegetable flavors. Since the base of this sauce is mayonnaise, the food blogger opted for a mild-flavored mayonnaise flavored with natural lemon juice.

“I could have lunch like this every day and at Christmas. Very simple, but very tasty”, – “Sunny Kitchen” is happy with her recipe.
