Fish baked in foil is always delicious and fragrant. Especially if you have just caught it and baked it on the coals of a burnt-out fire! But it turns out in the oven is also not very bad, the main thing is to choose high-quality fish. It is appropriate to prepare this dish for a romantic light dinner.
The whole fish can be served directly in the foil envelope in which it was baked, beautifully unfolding its edges and decorating the fish with bright vegetables and herbs.
To give a special flavor, you can use ready-made seasoning mixes for fish.
If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
When starting to cook a dish baked in foil (meat or poultry),
take into account the features of your oven
and be guided by the cooking time according to it, and not by what is written in the recipe. If you are preparing a dish for the first time, follow a few useful tips:
- divide the total cooking time by 4
- open the oven every quarter of the total time and check the degree of readiness of the dish
- don't be afraid to unwrap the foil for a more accurate check
- to make it more convenient to unfold the foil, always leave a "seam" on top of it
- if you wish, you can determine the degree of readiness without unfolding the foil by making one or two punctures in it with a toothpick
Remember that the quality of the foil also matters.
