Sea Bass in Paper Bag

1 sea bass of about 700 g (or similar white fish), 100 g cherry tomatoes, 200 g small zucchini, 500- 600 g new potatoes, 2 carrots, 4-5 black olives, salt, pepper, olive oil, Mediterranean herbs (rosemary, bay leaves), parsley

Gut and fillet the fish. Halve tomatoes, slice carrots and zucchini, cut potatoes in small chunks. Season the fish and vegetables with olive oil, garlic, rosemary and bay leaves. Add salt and pepper and chopped olives (not too many). Lay the vegetables on baking paper, add fish and pour a tsp of olive oil over it. Sprinkle with parsley. Make a “parcel” and tie with kitchen thread. Bake at 180 °C for about 35 minutes.

Serve the fish in the paper so that the mild aromas of herbs are not wasted, and the dish is kept warm. You can prepare other fish and vegetables in this way, according to your taste. The only thing important is they are equally thermally processed. Therefore, we cut carrots, potatoes and peppers in smaller chunks, while zucchini, tomatoes and other more tender vegetables can be cut in larger chunks. We recommend Grk Bartul Zure wine with this dish.

After this aromatic and tasty dish from the paper bag, for desert we recommend a rich mille foglie with forest fruits.
