Baked pike-perch in the oven

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The fresher the fish, the tastier the result, but not everyone is lucky enough to live in a region where it's caught. I recommend buying a chilled fish instead of a frozen one. The fish is large, so it will take some time to cook. I bake vegetables together with the fish, so I get both a side dish and the main course at once. The finished dish can be served immediately.
