In my family, it is always customary to prepare various fish dishes for the holiday table. Among smoked and salted fish, baked fish in the oven are always very popular. I take great pleasure in trying new recipes or adding something to old ones. As a result, such a dish always becomes a hit on the holiday table.

Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into thin, even slices.

Peel the onion and chop it into small quarters.

Now we first put slices of potatoes, chopped onions in the foil we prepared, and then put whole or pieces of fish on top. After that, salt and pepper everything and wrap the foil so that the joint is on top. You will ask why"? Yes, because it will be necessary to open it during cooking.

We place our fish on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 45-50 minutes and to make it browned, you need to remember to open the top of the foil 10-15 minutes before cooking.

We take the finished dish out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve.
