Baked Stuffed Sevruga

A truly festive dish — make stuffed fish! Sevruga baked in the oven and stuffed with rice and vegetables is right at home on a holiday table. It's not hard to put together: you don't even need to sew the belly shut after stuffing, and a quick salt rub takes care of any sliminess. In place of the vegetable mix below, feel free to use whatever you like — green peas, canned corn, carrots, or green beans. (Sevruga is a prized variety of sturgeon; any large whole firm fish works.)

    1. Gut the sevruga, scrape out the dark membrane inside, remove the gills, and rinse. Sprinkle the prepared fish with coarse salt and let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse off the salt and pat the fish dry with paper towels. Now season the sevruga with salt and pepper, sprinkle with dry fish spices, and let it sit for half an hour. 2. Cook the short-grain rice until done. Peel the onion, slice it thinly into half-moons, and sauté in olive oil until soft, then add the vegetable mix and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Add the rice to the vegetables, stir, season with salt and pepper to taste, cook for another 5 minutes, and take it off the heat. 3. Stuff the sevruga with the rice-and-vegetable filling; you can stuff the head, too. Place the stuffed fish on a baking sheet lined with foil and brushed with olive oil, and bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for one hour. Cover the fins with foil to keep them from burning. Serve the sevruga garnished to your taste. Other seafood and fresh herbs round out the dish nicely. Enjoy!
