Total preparation time: 40-45 minutes Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 20-25 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients: - 900 g fresh dorado - 1 head of garlic - 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary - 4-5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil - 2 large potatoes - Salt and pepper, to taste Step 1: Preparing the dorado Start by cleaning the dorado, removing the scales and internal organs. Make sure the fish is well washed under cold running water. Season the inside of the dorado's cavity with salt and pepper, then add peeled and crushed garlic cloves along with the rosemary sprigs. These ingredients will infuse the fish with delicious flavors during baking. Step 2: Preparing the potatoes Once you are done with the dorado, move on to the potatoes. Peel them and slice them thinly, about 2-3 mm, to achieve crispy chips. It is important that the slices are uniform for even baking. If desired, you can use a mandoline to achieve perfect slices. Step 3: Frying the potatoes In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato slices, arranging them one by one to form an even layer. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top for extra flavor. Fry the potatoes for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Carefully turn them to avoid breaking. Step 4: Assembling the dish After frying the potatoes, take them off the heat and place them in a baking dish, forming a bed on which to place the dorado. Place the fish on top, then cover it with the remaining potato slices to create a protective layer that will retain moisture and add a delicious texture. Step 5: Baking the dorado Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the baking dish with the dorado in the oven and let it bake for 18-20 minutes until the fish is cooked and the potatoes are crispy. You can check if the dorado is ready by ensuring that the fillets easily separate from the bones. Step 6: Serving Remove the dorado from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. You can garnish the dish with lemon slices and fresh rosemary sprigs for a special touch. This recipe pairs wonderfully with a simple salad or grilled vegetables for a complete lunch or dinner. Variation suggestions: - Add lemon or orange slices inside the dorado for a fresh citrus flavor. - Substitute rosemary with thyme or dill to change the flavor profile. - You can use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a healthier and more colorful option. This oven-baked dorado recipe is not only healthy and filling but also a simple way to enjoy a delicious fish dish enriched with the natural flavors of garlic and rosemary. Savor every bite and enjoy a memorable meal!
