One of the things I love about living on the Mediterranean coast is the abundance of fresh fish. And one super easy way to cook the larger ones is just to stuff them with fresh herbs and stick them in the oven. This is a dish I often make when my fishmonger has fresh, local turbot. I just tend to plonk the oven tray on the middle of the table, so that everybody can serve themselves!

Steps

1 hour

1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Make a couple of deep cuts on either side of the turbot, then wash under cold water and turbot and pat dry. Put the herbs and garlic in a mortar with the juice from the lemon, the zest from one half and the olive oil and roughly crush with the pestle. Add salt and pepper and mix well.
2

Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Stuff the turbot by pushing the herb mixture into the cuts on both sides. Drizzle the top with some more olive oil and another pinch of salt and put the fish in the oven. Turn the temperature down to 190º and roast for 40 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips

Using fresh herbs enhances the flavor, and lining the baking sheet with parchment makes for easy cleanup.

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
