Below are the ingredients, quantities and step-by-step preparation guide:
Ingredients
- 1 unit of turbot (whole).
- 3-4 units of papas (medium).
- 1 unit of green pepper.
- 1 unit of onion.
- 1 handful of tomates cherry.
- 3-4 garlic cloves (laminated).
- 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar (preferably white wine or cider).
- extra virgin olive oil (to taste).
- sal (to taste).
Preparation Mode
- Base preparation: Add a drizzle of olive oil to an oven-safe tray.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices about 1cm thick. Distribute them evenly on the tray.
- Cut the green pepper into strips and the onion into julienne strips. Add them to the tray with the potatoes.
- Season the vegetables with a little salt and an additional drizzle of olive oil. This is a key step for the first baking phase.
- First baking: Place the tray in a preheated oven at 190 C (heat on top and bake on the bottom) for 30 minutes.
- Fish preparation: While the vegetables are baking, prepare the turbot. To ensure even cooking, cut lengthwise along the dark side. Season the fish with salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Spread the oil over the entire surface of the turbot with your hands.
- After 30 minutes, remove the tray from the oven, place the turbot on the bed of potatoes and vegetables, and add the cherry tomatoes, distributing them around the fish.
- Second baking: Put the tray back in the oven at 190 C for 35 more minutes. While the fish is baking, make the garlic vinaigrette: Heat the oil in a frying pan. Sauté the sliced garlic until it begins to take on color (it should not burn).
- Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the vinegar very carefully as it may splatter. Stir the vinegar and oil mixture well.
- Pour the hot vinaigrette over the turbot and place the tray in the oven for 2 more minutes so that the fish completely absorbs the flavors.
- To serve: Remove the central spine from the turbot. Carefully remove the loins and serve the fish accompanied by the potatoes and tomatoes.
- Drizzle the fish and garnishes with the delicious juice left on the tray.
