  • This monastery-style fish is a wholesome dish for the whole family. It uses white fish—lean yet nourishing—along with simple, affordable ingredients, and it comes together quickly and easily to please any fish lover. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), since the dish finishes with baking. White fish works best here for its tender, lean flesh. This version uses walleye, which is mild, low in bones, and good for all ages, but perch, hake, or another mild white fish would work just as well. Clean, rinse, and pat the fish dry, then cut it into portions about 1 inch (2–3 cm) thick—or start with store-bought steaks. Season the pieces with salt and pepper and dredge them thoroughly in flour on all sides. Add about half the oil to a skillet and fry the fish over medium heat until golden, then set the steaks aside. Hard-boil the eggs, then cool, peel, and grate them on the large holes of a box grater. Peel, wash, and dry the vegetables. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds and cut the onion into half-moons. Add them to a hot skillet with the remaining oil and cook over medium heat until lightly golden. Arrange the fried fish in a baking dish or on a deep sheet pan. Scatter the grated eggs evenly over the top, then spread the sautéed potatoes and onion in an even layer. Coat the top with mayonnaise. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden. Your monastery-style fish is ready—transfer to plates and serve right away.
  • Enjoy!
