Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Rinse thoroughly under running water with 1-1.2 kg of fish fillet or fish carcasses. If you cook from carcasses, first remove the scales, remove all the fins and head, gut the fish. Dry the prepared fish on a paper towel, then cut into portions 5-6 cm in size.
   
2. Peel 1-1.2 kg of potatoes, 2 onions and 3 carrots. Wash vegetables thoroughly.
   
3. Pour 50 g of vegetable oil into a baking dish or deep pan.
   
4. Chop the onion with a medium dice, cut two carrots into circles. Put onions in a baking dish, on top - circles of carrots.
   
5. Put pieces of fish on the vegetable “pillow”. Sprinkle them with half a tablespoon of lemon juice. Add a little salt, sprinkle with lemon pepper or seasoning to the fish (it will take 0.5-1 tsp. Spices). Pour 50 ml of water into the baking dish. It is needed so that the dish does not work out too dry when baked. If the fish is oily enough, you can do without water.
   
6. Cut peeled potatoes into thin slices. They can be a little salt. Put the potato slices on top of the fish slices.
   
7. Grate the remaining carrots on a coarse grater. In the same dishes, grate 200-260 g of hard cheese. Stir the carrot and cheese mass.
   
8. Mix in a separate bowl 100-120 g of sour cream and mayonnaise. If desired, add more spices to taste. Pour this mixture into grated cheese with carrots and mix thoroughly until smooth. The fill is ready. You can also add 1-2 raw eggs to it, and put a layer of raw champignons cut into quarters on top of the potatoes. This will make the dish more nutritious and satisfying.
   
9. Spread the filling evenly over the potatoes. It is very important that it completely covers the potato slices, otherwise they will be overdried.
   
10. Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees. Put the baking dish in it and cook the dish for 20-30 minutes, until a brown crust appears. Remove the mold from the oven. Let her stand for 10-15 minutes.
    
11. You can serve fish in French in the same form in which it was cooked. For a festive table, a dish can be made in portions - in cocotte mills, ceramic pots. If desired, sprinkle the finished fish with finely chopped dill and green onions.
