Dorado in the oven

Dorado in the oven is a great option for a fish dish for the dinner table. Many people like sea fish due to the lack of small bones. Dorado meat is dense, white in color and very tasty. It is cooked in the oven with or without foil, in salt, with vegetables, nuts and mayonnaise. Let's learn a few secrets of cooking dorado in the oven.

How to bake dorado in foil in the oven?

If you bake fish in foil, the time for its heat treatment is significantly reduced and the dish retains all its juices. Let's try baking dorado with vegetables and spices.

1. 
   How to bake dorado in the oven in foil? First, defrost the dorado, and then clean it of scales. We cut along the body and remove the insides. We remove the gills, remove the internal cavity of the head from fat, films and cartilage.
2. 
   Cut the peeled onion into half rings. We will fry the onions in olive oil. Pour it in the amount of 2 tablespoons into the pan and heat it up. Then add the onion and fry it until soft.
3. 
   Take the required amount of salt, herbs, coriander and pepper. Grind all ingredients to a powder.
4. 
   We make shallow cuts (3-4 centimeters) on the sides of the fish. We treat the dorado inside and out with a mixture of herbs and spices.
5. 
   We wash the tomatoes and get rid of the skin: we make cuts on the tops of the tomatoes in the form of a cross and scald the tomatoes with boiling water, after a couple of minutes the skin will easily “peel off” from the pulp of the fruit. Cut the tomatoes into cubes (remove the seeds).
6. 
   Add them to the onion, add salt, mix and simmer under the lid for a couple of minutes. Fill the inner cavity of the fish with onion and tomato filling. Wash the lemon and cut 2-4 slices from it. We put them inside the body of the fish.
7. 
   Tear off a sheet of foil and place the fish on it. Peel a couple of cloves of garlic and cut them into thin slices. Lubricate the fish with olive oil. Wash parsley or cilantro and chop finely. Sprinkle fish with herbs. Squeeze the juice from the lemon in the amount of one tablespoon and pour it over the dorado.
8. 
   Take a baking dish with high sides and place the fish on a sheet of foil. We twist the ends of the sheet.
9. 
   Heat the oven at 220 degrees and place the mold with the fish inside. Bake the dorado in this form for about 40 minutes. Open the foil and carefully drain the juice. Bake the fish for another 10 minutes, unwrapped.
10. 
    Decorate the finished fish with herbs and serve. Dorado is also served with any side dish.
