Fish baked in foil
2 servings
45 minutes
You can cook any fish this way - trout, salmon, toothfish. Sea bass is far from being a Georgian fish, but it turned out to have a very Western Georgian taste.
1
Remove the roots and tough leaves from the leek. Cut the stem diagonally, blanch it, then sauté in a tablespoon of oil.
- Leek: 1 stem
- Sunflower oil: 3 tablespoons
2
Gut and clean the fish. Place it on a sheet of foil. Stuff each fish's belly with a sprig of tarragon. Top with thyme. (You can also stuff parsley in the gills and add a sprig of rosemary to the thyme.) Season with pepper. Arrange leeks nearby.
- Sea bass: 2 pieces
- Fresh tarragon: 2 stems
- Thyme: 5 stem
- Ground black pepper: to taste
- Leek: 1 stem

- Tomatoes: 2 pieces
- Shallot: 3 heads
- Eggplant: 1 piece
- Dry white wine: 100 ml
- Sunflower oil: 3 tablespoons

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 200 degrees. Five minutes before it's done, open the foil to let excess liquid evaporate.
