Cod under Polish sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Cod is delicious on its own—moderately fatty, boneless, and suitable for frying or baking. Today I chose baking. To prepare cod with Polish sauce, I use fish fillets, thawed in advance, juice from half a lemon, horseradish root, and a sour apple. I'm not sure why the sauce is called Polish, but the main thing is that the fish turns out very tasty. The finished dish can be served at the table.

The bitterness of horseradish will disappear during baking, while the apples will add aroma and a pleasant tanginess.
