Pike-perch fillet in the oven
Description
Pike-perch is a river fish, so even its fillet may contain quite a few bones. To prepare pike-perch fillet in the oven, be sure to remove all the bones if possible. Pike-perch meat is not only tasty but also dietary: it contains little fat, yet the fish is nutritious. To prevent it from becoming dry in the oven, I recommend cooking it with cream.

Do not overbake, so that the cheese crust does not burn. Let the dish cool slightly before serving. While the pike-perch is baking, you can prepare a side dish: potatoes or vegetables.
