Festive sturgeon in the oven with lemon

1. I wash the fish under running water. It is most convenient to do this in rubber gloves.

2. Now, using a sharp knife, we clean the sturgeon from the scales. It should be cleaned in the direction from the tail to the head.

3. We remove the gills. We cut the abdomen, clean out all the insides. The prepared carcass is repeatedly washed under running water outside and inside.

4. Pour water into a large saucepan, boil it on fire. Then gently dip the sturgeon into the boiling water, leave it for just a couple of seconds. Immediately put it under a stream of cold water.

5. After the thermo manipulation, the skin is easily removed along with the spikes. Carefully remove it. Then rub the fish with salt and leave for an hour.

6. Pour balsamic vinegar into a bowl, add softened butter and ground nutmeg. Mix well until smooth.

7. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Grease the baking sheet with vegetable oil, line it with parchment. We place the sturgeon on it, pour the prepared sauce on top of it, and olive oil on top of the sauce.

8. Finally, sprinkle the fish with lemon juice. We send it to the oven, bake for half an hour.

We place the finished fish on a flat dish or on a tray. Decorate with vegetables and herbs to taste and desire. It will be beautiful if you decorate a festively cooked sturgeon with thin slices of lemon or lime. This makes the dish look even more elegant! Here you can show imagination and make the dish a real masterpiece!

Bon appetit!
