Baked merlang is a refined dish of Spanish cuisine that combines simplicity of preparation with rich flavor. A light crispy crust of breadcrumbs hides tender, melt-in-your-mouth fish fillet infused with the aroma of parsley and the freshness of lemon. This dish has its roots in Mediterranean culinary traditions where fresh fish always takes center stage. Baked merlang is perfect for both everyday dinners and festive tables due to its sophisticated taste and appetizing appearance. The lightness and airiness of the texture make it an excellent choice for those who appreciate balanced and healthy food. It is served hot, right in the dish, to preserve all the tenderness and richness of flavor.
