Mullet In The Bag
Ingredients
1 Freshly Caught Mullet
Sea Salt & Ground Black Pepper
2 Tablespoons of Butter
2 Cloves of Chopped Garlic
Handful of Fresh Chopped Tarragon
1 unwaxed lemon
2 tablespoons of white wine
1 desert spoon of olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 200
2. Gut and clean the mullet (no need to remove the scales)
3. Finely shave the rind of the lemon with a grater
4. Mix the butter, garlic, lemon rind, tarragon and salt and pepper together into a "paste"
5. Stuff the mullet belly cavity with the paste
6. Put some baking paper over a baking tray, drizzel it with the olive oil and lay the stuffed mullet onto it.
7. Drizzle the white wine over the fish and parcel it up in the baking paper, leaving 2-3 inches room above the fish.
8. Put onto the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
9. When you unwrap the parcel, the skin and scales should easily peel back and the meat should just slide off onto your fork. Serve with some nice crusty bread which is great dipped in the juices.
