Baked Mutton Snapper

Once you catch the fish then you will need some recipes. I thought it would be good to try the whole fish baked and this Mutton Snapper turned out great. It just fell off the bone.


Ingredients

Whole Mutton Snapper
1 tbsp Parsley
1 tbsp Oregeno
1 tbsp Basil
1 tsp lemon
3 cloves Garlic
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup Dry White Cooking Wine
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp each Salt & Pepper
Italian Bread Crumbs


Saute' the onion and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add the parsley, oregeno, basil, lemon and dry white cooking wine. Continue to simmer for 5 more minutes. Then brush all over the fish on both sides. Once the fish is coated spread bread crumbs on both sides.

Bake covered in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes to brown the skin of the fish. Serve over a bed of pasta or rice with your favorite vegtables.

As always when eating a whole fish be careful about the bones. The fish is so tender that if you gently pull away from the bones the fish will just fall right off.
