Baked fish with natural potato garnish

For a delicious and quick meal, this baked fish recipe with natural potatoes is the perfect choice. It is ideal for both lunch and dinner, and its preparation doesn't take much time. We start by cleaning the fish. We remove the intestines and heads, ensuring that the fish is well washed under a stream of cold water. This step is essential for achieving a healthy and tasty dish. After cleaning, we cut each piece of fish into three equal parts, making it easier to cook and serve.

We season each piece with salt and pepper to give them a savory taste. After seasoning the fish, we leave it in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. This waiting time allows the flavors to penetrate the meat well. While the fish is marinating, we prepare the oven. We preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. After the marinating time has passed, we take the fish out of the refrigerator and place it in a baking dish.

We pour water and white wine over the fish, adding a bay leaf for extra flavor. Then, we put the dish in the oven, where it will bake for about an hour, making sure to check it from time to time. About ten minutes before it is done, we add slices of lemon and a little freshly squeezed lemon juice, which will bring a fresh and vibrant taste to the dish.

In the meantime, we take care of the side dish, the natural potatoes. We peel the potatoes, wash them well, and cut them into cubes. We put them to boil in a pot of water with a pinch of salt to enhance their flavor. After about 20 minutes, we check if they are cooked, and when they are ready, we take them out of the water and transfer them to a platter. We grate cold butter over them, which will melt slightly, bringing a creamy texture and rich flavor. We adjust the salt and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley, which will add a note of freshness.

Finally, we serve the portions with the browned fish and natural potatoes alongside, creating a delicious and comforting meal. This simple yet flavorful recipe will surely be appreciated by all loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
