Boiled pike-perch
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Dill enhances the flavor of the fish perfectly. If you have dill umbels, add a few of them when boiling the fish for ten minutes, then remove them from the pot. This pike-perch is delicious served with boiled rice or potatoes. It can also be enjoyed with a vegetable salad; in this case, however, the fish is best accompanied by a tartar sauce or a garlic sauce made with Greek yogurt. The finished dish can now be served.
