Yield serves: 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 or 4 Yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well here)
6 cloves garlic, 4 smashed and finely chopped, 2 just smashed
1 bunch of fresh oregano, half with leaves finely chopped, half as whole sprigs
1/2 cup gaeta or kalamata olives, slivered
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 3-pound fish, such as snapper or bass, scaled, gutted, and gills removed
1 lemon, sliced
3 fresh bay leaves
1/2 bunch of fresh Italian parsley
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, chopped garlic, chopped oregano, olives, and red pepper; drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt. Arrange the potatoes and friends in the bottom of a baking dish large enough to accommodate the fish. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and reserve.
  • Make 3 diagonal slices about 1/2 inch deep on each side of the fish. Season the outside and inside of the fish with olive oil and salt. Place the lemon slices, bay leaves, whole oregano sprigs, parsley, and remaining garlic inside the body cavity of the fish.
  • Pour the wine over the potatoes, lay the fish on top, and toss the whole thing in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the eyeball pops out.
  • Remove the skin and bones and serve the fish over the potatoes.
  • note
  • When you buy a whole fish, tell your fishmonger you want to have it scaled, gutted, and gills removed-you really don't want to do this at home.

I've made this dish several times now, and it always turns out great. The combination of flavors is perfect, and the fish is always moist and flaky.
