Pescado Empapelado (Fish in Parchment)
Monday and just a few days for the Easter Holidays, we are just counting the days to go away to a well deserve break, this time we are going to Copenhagen and we can’t wait!
Today’s recipe is a very special one, as you all know by now, I always do something fancy for lunch on Mondays as el inglés works from home, so we have like a romantic lunch together, but today recipe is a recipe that my dad used to love very much, so when I make it at home I always think about him.
Fish in parchment is a very healthy way to make fish, this time I bought two very fresh sea breams, I told my fishmonger to descale & gut the fish for me and just make them ready for me to stuff them, then I just chopped some veggies, add some butter, Maldon salt and white wine and in to the oven they went for 30 min.
Then I baked some potatoes and cherry tomatoes and we had a lovely lunch, ready in thirty minutes.
