Gurnard with lemon verbana

Got one gurnard from fishing at Fenit Bridge, it eats mainly shrimps and other molluscs hence the pink skin. The flesh is pure white and tender, famous for being a tasty fish, with some seriously spiky fins.

I season for a day with salt and pepper, then add a sprig of lemon verbana, a drizzle of olive oil, wrap in baking paper and bake at 180˚C for 15 minutes, rest for another 5 minutes.

 

As I expected, lemon verbana gives a lemony aroma to the fish but not any flavor, much better than using lemon.
