Step 1
Peel carrots, horseradish and celery roots. Cut everything into small pieces. Grease the dish in which the fish will be baked with a little vegetable oil. Put the pieces of vegetables in a form in an even layer. The fish pillow is ready.
Step 2
Gut the fish thoroughly, remove scales and rinse. On each side of the fish carcass, make transverse cuts approximately at a distance of 1.5 cm from each other. Dip the tomato in boiling water for one minute, then take it out and rinse it with running cold water. After that, you can carefully remove the skin from it and chop finely. Season the chopped tomato with coriander and black pepper. Put the tomato mass in the fish belly, and a pile of parsley sprigs.
