baked dorade

We love love LOVE grilled fish. In summer there are more variety to choose from and the dorade we got last week was just so fresh - smelling of the sea, firm and the eyes were sharp and clearer than the sky in July!

The weather really sucks lately and we have put our BBQ back in the garage. So the cravings for grilled fish was soothed with something baked instead. This is a quick, simple route to fish perfection - as long as you begin with the freshest product ;-)
