Hello boys! Oven baked stuffed sea bass

oven-baked-sea-bass

I’ll keep this post as short & easy as it was to cook these two bad boys. Go to your fish monger, buy two sea bass and kindly ask him to clean them for you. Bring them home, wash them and pat them dry. Smear them with olive oil, salt & pepper and paprika. Fill them with whatever your heart desires, in my case: a head of garlic, onion slices, lemon slices and few rosemary springs. Put some baking pepper in a tray and place the fish on a bed of onion (♫ l wanna lay you down on a bed of onioooooon ♫)(sorry for the cheesy Bon Jovi reference, couldn’t help it). And in the oven they go for about 40 minutes; I didn’t even turn them on the other side. And that IS it. I actually managed to eat almost a full one. Nope, I’m not friends with fish. For now 🙂

For that kind of days: canned mackerel & sardines two ways

There are days when you can dismember and cook a whole chicken, make pizza or moussaka and there are days when all you can do is open a can of fish. Lately, most of my evenings were like that. I told you how I gradually started to embrace fish...well, I recently discovered canned mackerel and canned sardines. Fish full of good stuff and really, really tasty. I always buy the ones in (olive) oil, I get them from Aldi for less than 1 EUR a piece. Still, I did not resign to just cracking the can open and proceed to eating: a bit of sparkle is always welcome. In this case, the sparkle took the shape of onion, tomatoes, capers, red pepper and ruccola. Easy-peasy tartines!

Bio pumpkin bread + butter + canned mackerel fillets + raw onion + capers + ruccola. Sprinkled with spicy olive oil and freshly ground pepper.

That’s it guys! Absolutely yummy, healthy and easy to make. The dream of any person that comes home from the office after seven PM and still wants to have a good meal.
