Ingredients:

For the Fish:

  • 1 large whole fish
  • Dried oregano
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic cloves (crushed)

For the Tomato Sauce:

  • 4 ripe tomatoes (grated or blended)
  • Garlic (minced)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Soy sauce
  • Fresh mushrooms (sliced)
  • Olive oil
Preparation method:

Start by taking a cleaned and gutted whole fish. Using a sharp knife, make three deep diagonal cuts on each side. Rub freshly grated garlic all over the fish, making sure to press it into the cuts and the cavity for maximum flavor.

Season the fish generously with salt and pepper, again focusing on the slits and the inside. Finally, sprinkle dried oregano over the entire surface of the fish.

Place the fish on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover it with a double layer — first with parchment paper, then with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, depending on the size of the fish.

Meanwhile, prepare the tomato and mushroom sauce. In a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the tomatoes cut into small cubes. Add grated or powdered garlic, a pinch of salt, black pepper, paprika, and the tablespoon of tomato paste. Cover and let it simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens.

Next, stir in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and let it simmer briefly. Add the chopped mushrooms and continue cooking for a few more minutes until they are tender and coated in the sauce.

Plating:
Place the fish in the center of a serving plate. Spoon the tomato-mushroom sauce on the side or drizzle lightly over the fish. A beautifully aromatic and flavorful dish — simply irresistible! 😋🐟🍅
