This recipe for fish with potatoes and cauliflower is not only simple but also an explosion of flavors, ideal for a family meal. Necessary ingredients: - 4-5 large potatoes (ideal for baking, such as red or white potatoes) - One medium fresh cauliflower - A small can of tomatoes in their own juice (you can also use fresh tomatoes, but make sure they are ripe) - One medium whole fish (preferably carp or sea bream) or fish fillets (salmon, trout) - One head of garlic - 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil - One cup of water - 2-3 bay leaves - Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling and washing the potatoes well. Cut them into larger slices, similar to those for fries, so they remain juicy inside. Then, wash the cauliflower and break it into small florets, which you will blanch lightly. 2. Blanching the cauliflower: Put a pot of water to boil. When the water is boiling, add the cauliflower florets and blanch them for 3-4 minutes. This step will help maintain the color and crunchy texture. After blanching, drain them and set aside. 3. Preparing the fish: If you chose a whole fish, clean it of scales and insides, then wash it well. If using fillets, make sure they are fresh and boneless. Sprinkle salt and pepper both inside and outside the fish. You can add a few slices of garlic inside for extra flavor. 4. Assembling the dish: In a baking tray, pour 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the sliced potatoes, cauliflower, and fish. Add the can of tomatoes on top, along with the whole head of garlic (you can leave it unpeeled to caramelize slightly). Add the bay leaves and pour a cup of water over all the ingredients. 5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Cover the tray with aluminum foil (to retain moisture) and place it in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and leave in the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked and the potatoes are golden. 6. Serving: Once the dish is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve it on a beautiful platter, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or dill. An interesting idea would be to add an arugula salad or a green salad on the side for a contrast of textures and flavors. Practical tips: - To add extra flavor, you can sprinkle herbs like rosemary or thyme over the fish. - If you prefer a more intense taste, try marinating the fish with lemon and olive oil a few hours before cooking. - This recipe is very versatile; you can replace cauliflower with broccoli or zucchini, and the fish can be adjusted according to your preferences. - It’s an excellent recipe for using leftover vegetables from the fridge, making it even more practical. Enjoy a healthy and tasty dish, full of fresh flavors that will surely impress all your loved ones!
