This recipe mixes the sweetness of the honey together with the sour taste of orange and Mediterranean herbs aroma. Baking in foil preserves this tasty combination resulting in seafood course that will make you feel like you were dining on the beach.
Ingredients (serves 4)
4 medium sized orata (gilthead sea breams)
1 orange
4 tablespoon orange honey
1 thyme sprig
1 rosemary sprig
4 sage leaves
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon minced chives
salt
pepper
olive oil
Preparation
Clean the fishes, removing fins and scales, and score the belly removing the gut. Mince the herbes removing their woody parts and mix them with honey and pepper. Fill the fishes belly with the honey mix. Place each fish over some aluminium foil, long enough to wrap it completely. Peel the orange and cut it in slices, placing one over each fish. Drizzle with oil and close the foil so to create a tight packet that won't allow the juice to exit. Preheat the oven at 400F, when hot place the packets in and let them bake for about 15 minutes. Serve the fish very hot, still wrapped in foil.

That is a great way to prepare fish. I have to keep an eye out for orange honey...I don't think I have seen that yet.
Absolutely beautiful photo as always. The fish sounds so simple and delightful too!
