Roasted Dogfish

Kitchen, Main dish

Preparation Time:
60
Note:
The Dogfish is one of the most common species in Cuban marine waters. Its meat is white and flavorful, which is why it is highly valued in the national market. The success of this recipe lies in using fresh products; that's why we recommend that when buying fish, you always check that the eyes are glassy and that the skin and flesh are firm. It is best to consume fish weighing up to about 4 pounds. According to experts, fish that are too large do not necessarily have the best meat.
Ingredients:
  • 1 dog fish
  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt, pepper, and oregano to taste
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions:

Wash the fish, remove the entrails, and scale it well. Make three or four cross cuts in the skin on each side, so the marinade juice can penetrate the flesh.

Season it to your liking and let it marinate with the seasoning for at least two hours.

Cut a part of the onion into thin slices and set it aside to decorate the fish at the end of the preparation.

Preheat the oven to 200ÂșC.

To prepare the fish marinade, combine the lemon juice, well-crushed garlic, a little oregano, and the rest of the onion cut into small dice. Mix the ingredients and apply this marinade to both sides of the fish.

Place the marinated fish on the baking tray previously greased with olive oil. You can add potato slices at the bottom, but remember to season them with salt and pepper.

If you want the fish to be juicy, it is advisable to bake it first with the tray covered with aluminum foil. Cook it for 20 minutes at a temperature of 200ÂșC. After this time, uncover it and leave it in the oven for another 10 minutes so that the skin acquires a golden color and becomes crispy.

Always check the cooking point because the times will depend on the weight of the fish and the specific characteristics of each oven.
