My Oven Baked Aquarium 我的烘烤水族馆

I was cooking whole fish again. However, non the typical Asian style. My Oven Baked Aquarium 我的烘烤水族馆 is somewhat identical to the Rosemary & Lemon Baked Fish 迷迭香柠檬烤鱼 that I posted inward 2015. Whilst that dish was to a greater extent than westernised, I would produce got a to a greater extent than fusion approach this time, beingness to a greater extent than generous amongst garlic, onions, ginger together with mirin but not using soy sauce. To me, this is a fusion of due east meets west.

Unlike deep frying, the success of a steamed or baked fish dish is really much dependent on the freshness of the fish/fishes. I was serving a tabular array for iv adults today. I would prefer to purpose Sea Bass or Barramundi (金目鲈). From my yesteryear experiences, Barramundi could live on cooked perfectly or near to perfection inward an oven. As I could exclusively respect ane medium sized Barramundi, I had to substitute the 2nd fish amongst a golden pomfret (金鲳鱼), the exclusively other whole fish I had inward my refrigerator.

Ingredients (enough for iv pax) :

1 or two whole fish of your selection (I prefer Sea Bass/Barramundi)
1 carrot (thinly sliced together with cutting to blossom shapes yesteryear cookie cutter)
300 gm broccoli (stir tike separately amongst 1 clove of garlic)
4 pocket-sized sprigs of rosemary (leave two sprigs for garnishing)
1 lime (deseed)
7 cloves garlic (peeled together with thinly sliced)(use 1 clove to stir tike broccoli)

(tsp = teaspoon; tbsp = tablespoon)

Tip 1 : Fish must live on fresh.
Tip 2 : Blend 50% of aromatic ingredients for a to a greater extent than intense flavour.

Method :

As expected, the Barramundi turned out to live on a lot to a greater extent than tender than the golden pomfret. Everyone loved the Barramundi. It had an near melt-in-the-mouth form of tender texture together with infused inward natural flavours. The sauce was a relaxation betwixt savoury together with natural sweetness. We loved the sweetness freshness from the fish, the onions together with the carrot. My Oven Baked Aquarium 我的烘烤水族馆 certainly hitting a dwelling run amongst my family. I exclusively wished I had to a greater extent than than ane Barramundi!
