Even though the sunny season is probably coming to an end, this doesn’t mean that we cannot treat ourselves with a splash of sunlight in our dishes!

This week, a Sicilian memory came back to me. I remembered when I was in a fancy restaurant with my friends, eating a very delicious and aromatic fish dish.

Even though I don’t know the exact recipe, I could well remember the ingredients. So I tried to repeat that flavour and I have to say… I obtained a very light and aromatic version of that dish!

Don’t be scared about cooking fish… this recipe is very simple, so don’t miss it!

Sicilian Oven-Baked White Fish on My Way

Ingredients for 6 persons

• 6 Fillets of your favourite white fish
• 60 grams of Crumbled Bread, or more, as needed
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil “Il Vero”
• 1 spoon of Raisins
• 1 spoon of Pinenuts
• 6-7 Sundried Tomatoes
• Salt and Pepper, if needed
• 2 spoons of Black Olives Tapenade or Green Olives Tapenade, if you want a stronger flavour (optional)

First, clean the fish and slice to get 6 fillets without any fishbone.

In a little pot, pour 3-4 spoons of Olive Oil. Once warm, add the crumbled bread to fry it.

When the crumbled bread is golden brown, remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the bread to a bowl.

Slice the Sundried Tomatoes and add them into the bowl with the fried crumbled bread.

Add the raisins, pinenuts, sliced sundried tomatoes, salt and herbs, as you prefer. Add a little bit of oil if the mixture is too dry.

If you want to obtain a more distinct Mediterrean flavour, you can also add 2 spoonfuls of Black Olives Tapenade or Green Olives Tapenade and just stir all together.

Drizzle the bottom of a tin with some oil, and then place the fish fillets in it.

Cover every fish fillet with 2 or 3 spoons of the aromatic mixture of bread, pinenuts, raisins and sundried tomatoes. Finally, drizzle everything with a little bit of oil.

Put in the oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.

You will be surprised! It is fantastic!! Try it!

Enjoy and Buon Appetito!
