2. This recipe has one secret—the additional filling ingredients. Peel the onion and chop it into small cubes, then add it to the fish. Wash the potato, peel it, and grate it. One medium-sized potato is sufficient, as its role in the dish is simply to absorb the excess fat released by the fish. Mix everything thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add other spices if desired.
