Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Make 3 diagonal slices about 1/2-inch deep on each side of the fish. Salt and olive oil the fish generously.
Season the inside of the fish with salt and olive oil.
Place 4 lemon slices, the bay leaves, a bundle of the mixed herbs and 2 of the garlic cloves inside the body cavity.
Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil and arrange the remaining assorted herbs, lemon slices and garlic in the center of the tray and lay the fish on top.
Fold the aluminum foil up around the sides of the fish to create a sort of baking dish.
Add the white wine and place in the preheated oven and roast until the fish is just cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from oven, present and collect your kudos then fillet to serve.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Fish works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Anne Amie Pinot Gris with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
