Fish for tonight!

                                                                                 
                                                                        

Hello!

  With my friend Maria when  I lived in Crete , Greece, we used to go to the farmers market every week to shop fresh vegetables and some fresh, VERY fresh fish, which they were cleaning for us. I am talking about  a whole fish and not fillet. The whole fish on the BBQ - which Maria bought- was a bliss! Tonight I recall those nights. Was fun time, excellent food and plenty of finish chocolate for dessert!

 My grandmother was baking the fish wrapped in paper in the home oven and this is what i am going to do:

1-2 large Tilapia ( cleaned one, it is pain in the butt to clean it)
parchment paper

1 oven (ha!)

1/2 cup  of olive oil                                                   

garlic salt

pepper

2 lemons (the juice)

fresh oregano, rosemary, 2 cloves of garlic ( or dry)
 dill                                                                               

Wash well the fish, put in  its stomach ( a clean stomach!) the garlic, salt and some oregano, put some olive oil all over the fish and season with a teaspoon of garlic salt, and the rest of the herbs.
Wrap the fish in the parchment paper and bake in a hot oven around 350 ( F and not C) for at least 40 minutes( depends on how big our fish is). The fish when is cooked it smells very nice, you will notice that. Now, remove the fish from the oven, and prepare  the sauce which is the juice of the lemons, with equal amount of olive oil and the dill, pepper. When you blend together equal amounts of olive oil and lemon juice it creates a beautiful fresh sauce which goes very well on the fish.
Pour the oil-lemon mixture all over the fish and you are done! I served it with steam veggies and fresh cucumbers.
