Rassolnik is not a new dish for a long time, which is quite often found on the dinner table. But rassolnik with fish became an invention for me! Delicate fish fillets and rassolnik is a great combination. Among the cereals that are added to the rassolnik, I opted for rice. And not without potatoes! It turned out to be a rich and satisfying first course!
