Ingredients:

  • 🐟 1 Whole Carpenter Fish (freshly caught at The Farm Deli!)
  • 🧈 1 cup butter, softened (home-made farm butter available at The Farm Deli)
  • 🧄 2 cloves garlic (local organic elephant garlic available at The Farm Deli)
  • 🍋 1 lemon (local lemons available at The Farm Deli)
  • 🌿 Handful of fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)
  • 🌶️ 1-2 fresh chili peppers (optional)
  • 🧂 Salt & black pepper

Method:

  1. Preheat:
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Prepare the Fish:
    Place the whole Carpenter fish on a lined baking tray.
    Score the skin at an angle in lines about 3 cm apart, cutting slightly into the flesh (about 1 cm deep). 🔪
  3. Make the Herb Butter:
    Crush the garlic with sea salt to form a paste.
    Finely chop the herbs, zest the lemon, and finely chop the chili (if using).
    Combine these with the softened butter, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well. 🥣
  4. Stuff the Fish:
    Spoon and smear the flavored butter into the incisions in the fish, filling them generously.
    Pour any remaining butter inside the fish cavity. 🐟
  5. Bake:
    Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. The flesh should be white and flake easily. ⏲️
  6. Rest & Serve:
    Let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving.
    Gently remove the top section of flesh from the bones and place it on a serving platter. 🥘

Enjoy!
