Baked whole fish and potatoes with rosemary and paprika recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 or 2 whole sea bass or any similar white fish, about 2 pounds
- 6 medium or 3 big potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon mild paprika powder
- 8 twigs of fresh rosemary
- Salt
- Pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Directions:
- Gut fish and rinse under tap. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub fish with salt and pepper. Insert 4 twigs of rosemary into the stomach. On both sides of the fish, tie a couple of twigs each. If you don’t have a cord to tie, just place them on top and under the fish.
- Place fish on an oiled baking pan. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
- In a bowl, put the diced potatoes then sprinkle mild paprika, salt, pepper, needles and twigs of the remaining rosemary. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Mix with the hands until potatoes are well coated.
- Scatter potatoes around the fish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F for 30–35 minutes or until fish and potatoes are cooked through. The fish is cooked if you poke a knife at the center of the fish and see that the meat is not sticking to the bone anymore.
