Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the yellow corvina. Use scissors to carefully trim off the fins near the tail and along the back. This step makes the cooking process much easier.
Step 2
Gently insert your finger into the gill area and scoop out the entire gill, along with the internal organs. By holding the red part of the gills (gill arches) and pulling, you can remove both the gills and the insides. Thoroughly cleaning this part is key to avoiding any fishy smell.
Step 3
Use the back of a knife to scrape off the scales from the fish’s surface. Removing the scales will reduce any potential fishy taste and contribute to a smoother texture.
Step 4
Rinse the prepared yellow corvina thoroughly under running cold water, both inside and out. Gently pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare for baking. Make 2-3 shallow cuts along the body of the fish. This helps the seasoning penetrate better and ensures even cooking. Place the prepared yellow corvina pieces on an oven tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Select the ‘Bake’ or ‘Oven’ function and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Adjust the time and temperature according to your oven’s specifications. Bake until the fish is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 7
Here is the beautifully baked yellow corvina. It’s delicious as is, with its natural savory flavor, but for an extra touch of deliciousness, you can add the seasoning sauce below.
Step 8
In a small bowl, combine all the seasoning sauce ingredients: 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp water, a little minced garlic, and a little sesame oil. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Finally, add the chopped scallions.
Step 9
Spoon the prepared seasoning sauce lightly over the baked yellow corvina according to your preference. Garnish with a bit of shredded chili pepper for a beautiful presentation. Your flavorful baked yellow corvina is now ready! The moist fish combined with the savory sauce makes it a perfect side dish for rice or a great appetizer.
