Red mullet, with Saffron & Potatoes oven bake

Red mullet, with Saffron & Potatoes oven bake

Ever tried to cook Fish with Saffron ? A tiny pinch, soaked in hot water for a few minutes will release its rich flavors and vibrant colors. Add this infusion to your dish, fire it up in the oven and let Saffron works its magic. We used one of our own favourite fish RED MULLET for this recipe , but a thick lump of Cod, a Bass on the bone,  Monkfish cutlet or even a chunky ling fillets would be perfect for this simple oven roasted dinner.

Ingredients

  1. Fish as suggested (500 g on the bone or 200 g fillets per serving)
  2. Waxy Potatoes
  3. 1 Red onion, thick slices
  4. Dozen Cherry tomatoes

  6. A pinch of Saffron
  7. 1/2 cup of olive Olive oil
  8. Fennel seeds
  9. 2 garlic bulbs
  10. Coarse salt
  11. 1/2 Lemon

Method
