Ingredients: Sunfish, Bream, Wheat Flour
Item Description: Baked fish on a bed of herbs.
This recipe has 2 fish for the ingredients, yet the sprite seems to depict a single whole fish. They're also american river fish that i really doubt i can get easily, and i doubt it matters either... I'm just going to use a cheap whole seabass from my local store. We've got some wheat flour, and for the "bed of herbs" im going to roast those leftover cauliflower leaves, and some parsley i shoved in my freezer because it was starting to get old. Roll out the red carpet for this one eh.
I'm ALSO going to do some steamed potatoes for this dish! The sprite depicts some sort of beige objects next to the cooked fish. It could be lemon, its probably lemon... but its my dinner so we're having both!
We have to bake this fish, might as well bake it with the veg, ive got the greens spread out on some foil and ill season them with a bit of salt and pepper.
Next, what to do with the flour!? Well, this fish came with a seasoning mix, so i thought id mix that (and some dill - more herbs!) with flour and coat the fish with that. Also whoops, i think ive used a bit too much flour, this doesnt look like a great ratio... ah well.
Drizzled the fish with a bit of cooking oil and just caked on the flour.
Got enough foil to cover it so things dont burn, and in it goes!
Oops! i forgot the lemon slices! Back in it goes.
The potatoes are steamed, and im mixing them up with some butter, fresh chives and more dill! These are looking good, shame they're not the main dish..
This smelled great! But then I remembered I hate digging bones out of my food. I really should have fried the fish in the flour or used breadcrumbs because it just ended up all goopy against the moist skin. The cauliflower leaves had a pleasant crunch, but after a while i got sick of the bitter parsley and strong dill flavour. The fishmeat was bland and didn't make up for my poor cooking technique.
