Red Mullet Baked in Foil with Red Pepper + Fennel

Photo credit: © Eatwell101.comA very simple fish recipe: red mullet baked in foil! Remember to ask the fishmonger to scale and gut the fish if you don’t want to do it yourself. Do not confuse the red mullet, whose flesh is fine, with gurnet fish, which is usually used for fish soup (it has more edges and its flesh is less tasty than the melting Barbet). Red mullet flesh is excellent when crushed with a fork and mixed with butter, Espelette pepper and salt.You can also try it stuffed and grilled; it’s surprisingly delicious. Be cautious with aluminum foil: there is a matte side and a shiny side. Only the matte side should be in contact with food. The shiny side may oxidize the ingredients.

Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
2. Cut 4 sheets of aluminum foil to 11 inches (30cm) long.
3. Wash and cut the half pepper into strips, and do the same with the red onion.
4. Drizzle olive oil on the foil (dull side), then lay down the fish.
5. Add the bell pepper and onion slices, a drizzle of olive oil, a few fennel seeds, a fresh thyme, a pinch of salt and a pinch of Espelette.
6. Stick the two sides of the foil together.
7. Fold to weld the foil to give it a rounded shape of a half moon.
