Totally agree. Who else is fed up of chicken?? Raise your hand. I do not understand why we always the same things when there is so much food out there, especially in places like Spain, where food in soooooooooooooooo fresh, unlike UK and USA (yes, sorry, but it is all true).
So I bought these Sea Bram, each fish for 3 euro each. Wow so good. I followed an easy spanish recipe that inspired me from this site.
INGREDIENTS:
-2 sea brams.-12 small potatoes or 6 big ones.
-1 small onion.
-4 cloves of garlic.
-6 or 7 small cayenne peppers.
-1 lemon.
-olive oil.
-parsley for decoration.
-salt and pepper.
STEPS:
1. Make a bed of potatoes in the oven dishes. I used two dishes one for each fish. Put a little olive oil in each dish and spread.
2. Slice the potatoes in thin layers and place in the dish. Now dice up the onion in little cubes, with the garlic and sprinkle around, also add a few cayenne peppers to give it all a small kick. Distribute the ingredients between the 2 trays if you are using 2. Put in oven for about 30 minutes on their own in 180 degrees on both high and low fire.
3. In the meatime prepare the fish. Simply add the juice of one lemon in a bowl, with a little olive oil, garlic minced, pepper, salt and parsley and cayenne peppers and open the fish and pour inside the fish. Now with a basting brush add the rest on the skin of the fish so that it looks shiny with a few spices on top.
4. Stick to oven for about 30 minutes in 170 degrees both low and high fire, and the fish will start to become golden....and really that's it.
It was so good! So so good. The thing about is fish is that you do not have to do anything to make it taste good, on its own is amazing just like lamb.
Why do people add all kind of extra-flavors to things like seafood, fish or lamb? They should taste like what they taste like, will NEVER get it.
