Baked perch with orange
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. At one time, sea bass was popular among home cooks. But at some point, this delicate seafood began to be undeservedly replaced by other delicacies. However, despite everything, the excellent flesh of sea bass has not lost its culinary appeal. It is valued not only for its exquisite taste but also for its abundance of beneficial substances, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. Sea bass can be cooked in various ways, but most often it is baked in the oven. In anticipation of the New Year's feast, I suggest adding orange slices to this wonderful fish, which will give the finished dish a sweet-and-sour tropical note. This addition will also enhance the festive holiday atmosphere. The dish is ready to be served.
