Baked Fish

For those who want their Christmas dinner protein to come from an animal other than a chicken, goat, cow, or pig, fish is always a good idea.

Try this healthy fish dish for the pescatarians in the family or those who simply want a different taste.

Ingredients

Whole fish: Use whole white fish, which is scaled, gutted, and perfectly rinsed with some lemon slices and vinegar.

Extra virgin olive oil: To crisp the skin and prevent it from sticking.

Ginger and garlic paste: For a depth of aroma.

Seasonings: Creole or Cajun, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

Italian seasoning is a combination of herbs. Fresh herbs are a good option.

Method

Heat your oven to 400 degrees and line your baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper, or lightly grease a baking dish or tray. I used a broiler pan.

Marinate both sides generously, allowing the marinade to penetrate the cavity of the fish. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Bake for 20 minutes. For crispy skin, you can flip and grill the other side.

Remove from the oven and let it sit for about two minutes for the juice to distribute before serving.
