how to cook whole fish in the oven in foil

Cooking whole fish in the oven in foil is a great way to get a delicious, tender and juicy fish without much hassle. Here’s a step-by-step guide to cooking a whole fish in the oven in foil:

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole fish (such as trout, snapper, or sea bass)
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the fish and remove the scales and gut if necessary. Rinse the fish thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  3. Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and lightly grease it with some olive oil.
  4. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper, then stuff the cavity with sliced garlic, lemon slices, and fresh herbs.
  5. Drizzle the fish with a tablespoon of olive oil and wrap the aluminum foil tightly around the fish to create a sealed package.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the fish for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. Check the fish for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the thickest part of the flesh.
  7. Carefully open the foil package and transfer the fish to a serving dish. Garnish with more fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy your delicious oven-baked whole fish!
