If you're looking for a simple yet delicious recipe, Cega rolls are the perfect choice! This elegant and savory dish is based on fish fillets, marinated with a flavorful combination that will turn them into a true feast. Here’s how to prepare them step by step.

Ingredients:
- 500 g fish fillet (preferably Cega or other white fish)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence (or other preferred herbs)
- Optional: a few lemon slices for garnish

Preparation Instructions:

1. Preparing the fish: Start by checking the fish fillets to ensure they are bone-free. You can use fish tweezers to remove any bones. This step is essential for enjoying a pleasant culinary experience.

2. Preparing the marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous marinade. The olive oil will not only add flavor but will also help keep the fish juicy.

3. Marinating the fish: Place the fish fillets in an airtight container or a covered dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are completely covered. Airtight covering is important to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish. Let them marinate in the refrigerator, preferably for 12-24 hours.

4. Cooking the rolls: After the fish has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Then, roll each fish fillet and secure it with a skewer or kitchen twine. If you want a crispy touch, you can coat them in flour or breadcrumbs before baking.

5. Baking: Place the fish rolls in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. You can also add a few lemon slices for extra flavor. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

6. Serving: Serve the Cega rolls warm, alongside a seasonal salad or a side of steamed vegetables. A wonderful idea is to accompany them with a yogurt sauce with dill, which will add a fresh and refreshing touch.

Variation suggestion: You can experiment with different herbs and spices in the marinade, such as coriander or sweet paprika, to adapt the taste to your preferences. You can also use fish from local sources to support the local economy and enjoy the freshest ingredients.

These Cega rolls are perfect for a light lunch or an elegant dinner. Carefully marinated, each bite will be an explosion of flavors! Don't forget to enjoy the cooking process and surprise your guests with this simple yet refined recipe. Bon appétit!
