Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

For fish
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of it softened
20 Turkish bay leaves
2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
1 (4-lb) whole bluefish, cleaned, with head and tail intact
1/2 lb whole almonds (1 1/2 cups), toasted and coarsely chopped
1 lemon, thinly sliced
For sauce
1 cup white-wine vinegar
2 Turkish bay leaves
6 whole black peppercorns, slightly crushed
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Rub softened butter over bottom of roasting pan and sprinkle with 12 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 1 tablespoon sea salt.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry, then arrange diagonally in roasting pan. If fish is more than 18 inches long, tail will curl up side of pan (wrap tail in foil to prevent burning).
