Elementary Dorado
2 servings
60 minutes
Elementary dorada is the quintessence of Mediterranean cuisine, where the simplicity of ingredients reveals the true flavor of the product. Historically, fishermen prepared dorada by baking it in salt to preserve the juiciness and tenderness of the meat. The subtle citrus aroma of lemon and a light hint of sea salt create a perfect balance of taste. The dish turns out incredibly soft, with a delicate texture that literally melts in your mouth. It is ideal as a main course for dinner, and its preparation requires no special skills, making it accessible for any cook. It can be served with light white wine and fresh salad to highlight the fish's natural freshness.
