I really love this recipe. More than the recipe itself it is important to understand the method for the cooking. The dish is very delicate and light, very appropriate also for diet and upset stomachs. I like for this recipe to use the oven, but very often in Italy the stove is used instead. The reason i use the oven is that on the stove it is easier that the fish will brake into peaces. When cooking it on the stove you must cook it at low heat.

Very popular is also the use of real sea water, which for me now is not possible.

The simplicity of the recipe enhances the taste of very fresh fish, and it is good for a lot of different kinds of fishes. i used red snapper, but please don’t hesitate to try it with your favorite kind.

Ingredients for two

half a pound red snapper, a small onion, one clove of garlic, fresh parsley and basil and or any aromatic herb you like with fish ( I use the same procedure to cook salmon with fresh dill) half a tomato or better some cherry tomatoes,  one teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, but more often i use a table spoon of wine, a scarce spoon of olive oil salt and pepper half a cup of water.

Possible add-on a sprinkle of lemon juice

Look at the photo to make yourself a better idea. I cooked the fish for 40 minutes at 350 degrees covering the tray with aluminum foil.

I love biancolella which is a fresh simple honest wine made from the varietal that has the same name. Produced mainly in Ischia and around Naples it is also mentioned in the movie Avanti of Billy Wilder. About this wine it is said that the more you drink it the more you enjoy it. I think it is because it feels very refreshing to the taste, as it hides its alcoholic content very well. So be careful!
