Baked John Dory with rosemary

 

Baked John Dory with rosemary, before baking

 

Ordered a 900gm John Dory, like its firm waxy flesh. Decided to bake it with butter and rosemary, for a mild fragrance.

1. Season fish with salt for at least a couple of hours.

2. Place fish on a large piece of baking paper, sprinkle fresh rosemary on top, cover with slivers of butter. Wrap paper to a parcel with the head and tail ends open.
