I thought I would treat you today with a recipe that I have been using for a long time and that has been appreciated by all my friends, regardless of gender, age, lifestyle, spiritual or political beliefs (I don’t know what political beliefs have to do with but I got carried away, especially after the last events ;))
But let’s not forget where I started from, today’s recipe is very easy to make and the result is amazing, I don’t think I’ve eaten more juicy and flavorful fish than this :).
I used the following ingredients (for 2 people):
-
2 medium-sized bream fish (check on the label that it says fishing, not aquaculture)
-
4 garlic cloves;
-
4 slices of lemon;
-
1 large fresh basil leaf or 2 smaller ones (you can also use fresh mint, it goes very well in combination with lemon and garlic).
Of course, the amount of ingredients is halved for one person ;).
So, clean the guts of the fish, wash it well and add the above ingredients together with a little salt and a little freshly ground pepper.
Then, without cleaning the fish from the scales (the caramelized skin is removed directly on the plate), sprinkle/smear with a little olive oil.
The fish is then placed in the oven preheated to 170-180 degrees Celsius and left for about 40-50 minutes. But let me tell you a secret, when it’s almost ready (5-10 minutes before taking it out of the oven), I sprinkle the fish with a little balsamic vinegar, so the skin caramelizes while the meat remains tender and juicy. 
That’s about it, an aromatic and juicy fish that goes wonderfully with assorted vegetables or even with salad, especially if it’s cooked for dinner.
