Baked fish with fresh herbs (thread fin)



From Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetite

Ingredients

1 seabass, about 1.1kg
Few rosemary sprigs
Handful of large basil leaves
1/2 Lemon, cut into wedges
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced

Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Score the sea bass on both sides and rub all over with salt, pepper and a little drizzle of olive oil. Pick the rosemary sprigs off the hard stems. Roll a large basil leaf tightly around each rosemary sprig. Insert into the slashes in the fish, along with the garlic slices.

Lay the sea bass on a lightly oiled foil-lined baking tray. Stuff the cavity with the lemon wedges and remaining rosemary. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the flesh is opaque and just cooked through.


Simple dish to make and healthy as well. It really depends on how fresh your fish is. The seasoning, herbs, they serve to bring out the full natural flavours of the fish.
