Pike with sour cream in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'm certainly not a professional chef, but I do know one thing: when cooking fish, the key is not to overcomplicate it, as additional ingredients can easily overpower the natural flavor of the fish. That's why I try to use as few ingredients as possible in such recipes, and today I'd like to share with you. Serve hot.
