Cooking

1. Prepare the ingredients from the list needed for baking a delicious sea bass in foil in the oven.

2. First, let's deal with the fish. Most often, sea bass is sold without a head and entrails. So, there's not much work to be done: remove the scales from the body and the dark film from the belly of the fish. Now rinse the bass thoroughly with cool water. Next, dry the fish with paper towels, rub in the fish spices and salt, if there is not enough salt in the spices. You can also prepare fish spices yourself: mix and grind in a mortar 0.5 tsp each of salt, coriander seeds, and dried herbs (basil, thyme, oregano), 5 black peppercorns, and 1 allspice berry. Mince a garlic clove and rub it on the fish. Leave the bass with the spices for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

3. Peel the onion from the skin and cut it into quarters. Peel the carrot and slice it into circles.

4. Measure and cut a piece of foil to the size of the fish. Place all the onion in the center of the foil, and on top of it – the carrot.

5. Place the fish on the center of the prepared vegetable bed.

6. Seal the fish with the vegetables in the foil, but so that the foil does not touch the fish on top, i.e., the wrap should be loose. This is done so that there is no sticking of the fish skin to the foil at the points of contact. Next, place the wrapped fish on a baking tray and send it to the preheated oven at t = +200 ⁰C for 25 minutes.

7. To achieve a golden crust on the bass, open the foil, brush the top part of the fish with vegetable oil, and continue baking the uncovered bass until browned, for 5-10 minutes. The sea bass in foil in the oven is ready.

8. Serve the sea bass together with the baked vegetables and lemon wedges.
