Sicilian Baked Fish

Authentic Sicilian cuisine frequently shows the Arab influence.

Bread Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 cups bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Fish

  • 2 pounds firm white fish fillets
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • Juice of two lemons
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges
 

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet. Stir in garlic, and cook, stirring, to prevent burning for one minute. Lower heat. Add cayenne, cumin, coriander and salt. Add bread crumbs and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until crumbs are golden and crisp. Add chopped basil and stir for another minute, then remove from heat. Set aside.

Rinse fish fillets in cold water, pat dry with paper towels and place them, skin side down, in an oiled baking dish. Spread chopped tomatoes evenly over the fish. Sprinkle with garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Covering with bread crumbs, distributing evenly over all fillets.

Bake, uncovered in preheated 350°F oven for about 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Garnish with lemon wedges.

Serves: 6
