Vegetable-Stuffed Dorado

Шаг 1

Take 3 medium-sized gilthead bream (one per person), trim off all fins. You can do this with sharp scissors, but I used a knife, so it wasn’t very neat. Usually, the fish is sold already scaled, but I recommend cleaning it again, as some scales are always left. Be sure to wash the fish. Make a cut along the belly and remove all the guts.

Шаг 2

Before baking, pat the fish dry — I just used paper towels. Rub with salt and pepper all over, including inside.

Шаг 3

Slice the onion into thin half-rings.

Шаг 4

Chop 2 tomatoes into small pieces.

Шаг 5

Fry the onion until golden, then add the tomatoes and yellow bell pepper cut into thin strips.

Шаг 6

When everything is stewed (about 5–10 minutes total), add chopped ginger root. I sliced it into thin rounds across the grain, but grating is better so it’s less noticeable in the dish.

Шаг 7

Stuff the fish with the vegetable mixture.

Шаг 8

Carefully place the bream on a baking tray, brush lightly with oil to help it brown nicely.

Шаг 9

Place in a preheated oven at 200°C and wait 30–35 minutes. The fish should be nicely browned. Enjoy your meal!
