(Portion for 4Pax)

Ingredients

• 1.5kg whole Red Snapper, gutted and scaled

• Fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage

• 10 Spring onion, cut into 4cm long sticks.

• 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 65 ml White wine

  Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. Season the inside of the fish with salt and pepper, and stuff the inside with sprigs of fresh

   herbs (squeeze and twist the herbs so they release their essential oils and

   fragrances) and half a lemon (squeeze some of the juice out into the fish and then stuff the squeezed half in as well)

3. Place the fish in an ovenproof dish with the cherry tomatoes, thin slices of

   potato and spring onions around the fish.

4. Season the fish and vegetables salt, pepper, olive oil and a big splash of white wine.

5. Place in oven and cook for 30-40 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

   If the potatoes and vegetables start to slightly burn then add more white

   wine.

6. Use a spoon and a fork to check that the fish slides off the bone easily and that is how you will know that the fish is cooked.

7. Bone the fish and serve with the vegetables and some fresh parsley
