Bunch of seafood : A Whole Flounder on a Beautiful Plate
I recently got the cutest new plate — it’s so pretty that I wanted to cook something that would look just as beautiful on it.
While I was thinking it over, my boyfriend suggested a dish with a whole fish laid out on the plate… and honestly, it sounded perfect! So I ended up making a baked seafood dish with a whole flounder, and it turned out amazing.
The best part? Once everything is prepped, you just pop it in the oven. It takes a bit of time to cook, but it’s super easy and looks stunning.
Ingredients
- 1 whole fish (I used flounder, but use whatever you like!)
- Assorted seafood (I added shrimp and octopus)
- 1 Onion
- 1 Potato
- 1 Lemon
- 1 Green onion
- Mushrooms
- Garlic
- Rosemary
- Butter
How to make it
-
Thinly slice the onion, potato, and lemon into rounds.
-
Line a baking pan with the potato and onion slices, then place the whole fish right on top.
3.Arrange the seafood, lemon slices, green onion, garlic, and mushrooms beautifully over the fish. Dot with bits of butter here and there.
- Finish with a few sprigs of rosemary on top.
- Bake at 350°F (about 175°C) for 30 minutes!
I just used what I had at home, but you can totally mix and match with your favorite ingredients. Salmon works great, and white fish like sea bream is super light and not fishy at all!
It’s such a simple yet satisfying dish — full of flavor, looks fancy, and definitely makes dinner feel a bit more special .
