Directions
Mediterranean grilled whole fish is their signature dish for summer time. I had the dish a few times at Greek restaurants, and always want to remake it at home. This recipe originally came from one of my friends. He studied and worked in Japan and Europe for many years, and since he loves cooking and enjoys good food, he studied and mastered Japanese, Mediterranean, and French cooking. I actually wanted to try his recipe for a long time, but didn’t have time and energy to cook that. Finally on labor day long weekend, I had time to do some shopping and cooking.
This dish is very easy to prepare and only take 20 minutes to cook it. I have to send gratitude to Costco, since they always have high quality food. The sea basses I bought from Costco are so fresh and absolutely delicious.
I have to admit that I love Mediterranean dishes, especially love their simplified cooking style. At most time, you just need sea salt, black pepper and Oliver oil, all you really need are the fresh ingredients, and the flavor naturally comes out from the ingredients, no additional sauce needs to cover the original taste.
Lemon is also a very important ingredient for Mediterranean food which you can’t substitute.
The aroma of grill fish is an alluring one. It can be your signature dish to impress your guests.
Tips:
- You need to make sure using paper towel to dry the fish completely, otherwise it will be very fishy.
- This dish can use a grill rack as well.
