You will discover how to prepare a healthy and tasty meal, perfect for a family dinner or a meal with friends. Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Total: 1 hour Number of servings: 4 Ingredients - 1 piece of herbivorous fish (approximately 1-1.5 kg) - 1-2 green bell peppers - 1 large tomato - 5-6 potatoes - 3-4 cloves of garlic - Salt (to taste) - Pepper (to taste) - 1 teaspoon of dried basil - 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary - Juice of one lemon - 5-6 tablespoons of olive oil Preparation Step 1: Preparing the fish Start by cleaning the fish. Make sure to remove all the entrails and scales, then rinse it well under cold running water. It is recommended to let the fish sit in cold water for 30 minutes to refresh and retain its juiciness. Step 2: Preparing the vegetables While the fish is cooling, take care of the vegetables. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers, then cut them into strips. Slice the garlic into thick pieces, and the tomato into rounds. Wash the potatoes well (you can leave the skin on for added flavor and nutrients), boil them in salted water for 15-20 minutes until slightly soft but not fully cooked. Then peel and slice them thickly. Step 3: Assembling the dish Removing the fish from the water is a crucial moment. Portion it according to your preference, either into fillets or whole pieces. In a baking dish, place a layer of sliced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and garlic slices. Add the strips of bell pepper, followed by the tomato rounds on top. Step 4: Seasoning the fish On top of the vegetables, place the pieces of fish. Generously season with salt, pepper, basil, rosemary, and the remaining garlic. Don’t forget to drizzle the fish with lemon juice, which will give it a fresh taste and balance the flavors. Step 5: Baking Before placing everything in the oven, add the olive oil to the dish, ensuring all ingredients are well coated. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. This step will help retain moisture and allow the ingredients to cook evenly. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and let the dish bake for another 15 minutes on low heat. This will allow the fish to brown nicely and intensify the flavors. Useful tips - Choosing the fish: You can use various types of herbivorous fish. Make sure it is fresh, and the flesh is firm to the touch. - Vegetarian option: If you prefer a meatless option, you can replace the fish with tofu or vegetables like zucchini and eggplant, which pair excellently with the flavors of this recipe. - Flavorful additions: You can experiment with different herbs, such as dill or cilantro, to add extra flavor. - Serving: This dish is delicious served warm, alongside a fresh green salad or a side of fragrant rice. Additionally, a glass of dry white wine can perfectly complement the meal. Nutritional benefits Fish is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins. Vegetables provide a rich supply of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, contributing to a healthy and balanced diet. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use other types of fish?
