Baked fish

 Ingredients: 2 pieces of fish (carp) garlic rosemary 2 bay leaves a cup of white wine salt, pepper olive oil

To prepare a delicious baked fish recipe, we start by choosing a fresh fish, which can be sea bream, perch, or salmon, depending on your preferences. We clean the fish, removing any intestines and scales, then wash it well under a stream of cold water. After drying it with a paper towel, we place it in a dish or a baking tray, ready to host this savory dish.

Seasoning is essential to envelop the fish in flavors. We sprinkle plenty of salt and pepper both inside and outside the fish to enhance its natural taste. We add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, which will provide a fragrant note and a slightly piney taste. Bay leaves, added alongside the fish, will give an extra depth of flavor, turning every bite into a memorable experience.

Garlic is an essential ingredient in this recipe. We peel a few cloves of garlic, which we slice thinly or crush lightly, then sprinkle them over the fish. The aroma of garlic will blend perfectly with the other spices, creating a complex and savory flavor. Don't forget to add a few drops of extra virgin olive oil, which will not only help cook the fish evenly but also enrich the dish with a fine texture and a rich taste.

A special ingredient we can add is white wine. We pour a small cup of white wine over the fish, choosing a dry variety to avoid sweetening the dish. The wine will evaporate during baking, leaving behind a refined aroma and an intense flavor. We cover the tray with aluminum foil to retain moisture and allow the fish to cook evenly without drying out.

After we have prepared everything, we place the tray in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Cooking will take about 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish and the power of the oven. It is important to check if the fish is well done, and the flesh should easily come off the bones.

Finally, when the fish is perfectly cooked, we take it out of the oven, remove the aluminum foil, and let the flavors reveal themselves. We serve it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, and your loved ones will surely enjoy this simple yet flavorful recipe. Bon appétit!
