Russian-style fish

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Red fish with vegetables, a tangy pickled cucumber, topped with a creamy sauce and a cheesy crust — it's incredibly delicious! In this case, pink salmon is used as the base, but you can use any other fish you have on hand. The fish broth used in the sauce is best prepared in advance. If you don't have it, you can try using water instead. The finished dish is ready to be served.
