Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake greenlings in the oven? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients. If the fish is frozen, place it in containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and keep it until completely thawed.

Step 2

Step 2
Clean the terpuga from scales and rinse under cold water. The scales of the greenling are quite small and fit tightly on the body. To clean, use a special device or quickly pour hot, about 80 degrees, water over the fish. But not with boiling water, otherwise you will cook the top layer. Remove the head and entrails, rinse, dry and cut into portions.

Step 3

Step 3
Place sour cream in a bowl, pour in vegetable oil and lemon juice.

Step 4

Step 4
Add salt and black pepper to the bowl with sour cream. Regular black pepper can be replaced with white or green pepper.

Step 5

Step 5
Place dried herbs in a bowl. You need dry herbs; fresh herbs will burn during cooking and lose their color.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour water into the bowl and mix everything well.

Step 7

Grease a 16*21 centimeter baking dish with vegetable oil. Peel and grate the carrots on a medium grater, place in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Step 8
Peel and chop the onion, place on top of the carrots.

Step 9

Step 9
Peel the potatoes and cut into thin slices, place on top of the vegetables. The thinner you cut the potatoes, the faster they will cook.

Step 10

Step 10
Dip each piece of greenling into the sour cream mixture and place on top of the potatoes. Pour the remaining sour cream mixture into the mold and shake it a little so that the liquid spreads evenly.

Step 11

Step 11
Place in a hot oven and bake everything at 180 degrees for 40 minutes. Focus on your oven. The potatoes should be completely cooked. Remove the pan with the fish from the oven. At this stage you can already serve, but it still tastes better under the cheese crust.

Step 12

Step 12
Grate the cheese on a medium grater and pour over the top of the greens and potatoes. Place back in the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes to desired degree. Remove the cooked fish and serve immediately.
