Bream with potatoes in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To ensure the potato is evenly baked, it should be slightly pre-cooked. A steamer is very convenient for this purpose. The bream cooks very quickly in the oven, so it's better to prepare the potatoes in advance. The finished dish can now be served.

Step 5
Take an oval baking dish. It's important that the bream fits completely inside and that the dish isn't too deep. A roasting pan lid works very well for this purpose. Place the potatoes in the dish. The layer of potatoes should be thinner in the center of the dish and thicker on the sides.
