Method

Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Rockfish

    In a bowl, combine the rockfish fillets, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

Making the Wheat Crust

  1. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add water and olive oil, then knead until the dough is smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

  2. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into desired shapes.

Cooking the Rockfish

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Bake the Fish

    Place the marinated rockfish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Assembling and Serving

  1. 6

    Top the Fish

    Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the chopped parsley, thyme, and chives over the top.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the baked rockfish on a plate with the wheat crust on the side. Accompany with lemon wedges and tartar sauce if desired.
