Whole Dorade Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your dorade cooks evenly and thoroughly.

2. 2

   Prepare the Fish

   Rinse the whole dorade under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure it is thoroughly cleaned and scaled.

3. 3

   Season the Fish

   Rub the olive oil all over the fish, including the cavity. Season the inside and outside with sea salt and black pepper. Place minced garlic inside the cavity.

4. 4

   Add Aromatics

   Stuff the cavity of the fish with lemon slices and fresh rosemary sprigs to infuse flavor during cooking.

5. 5

   Place in Baking Dish

   If using white wine, pour it into a baking dish and place the dorade on top. This will help keep the fish moist while baking.

6. 6

   Bake the Dorade

   Bake the dorade in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove the dorade from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve it whole on a platter with the roasted lemon slices and rosemary.
