Meagre in a bread crust and citrus fruits

Recipe by Aurora Cavallo – Cooker Girl

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 Meagre Fish from Greece (800 g)

Dry bread 500 g

1 garlic clove

10 almonds

1 orange

1 lemon

Salt to taste

EVO oil to taste

Method

Fillet and portion the meagre. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and place the fish fillets on it. Season with oil and salt and set aside for a few minutes.

In a blender, mix the dry bread with the orange and lemon peel, grate the spices and add a clove of garlic, a pinch of salt and, finally, the almonds to make the breadcrumbs more crunchy. Add 3 tablespoons of oil and spread the citrus-flavoured breadcrumbs over the fish fillets, bake for about 15 minutes in a hot oven preheated to 200°C and wait for the breadcrumbs to turn golden.

After cooking, arrange the fish fillets au gratin on a plate, add a pinch of salt and a few leaves of parsley as decoration and serve piping hot.
