Step into Flavor Town with Whole Baked Pompano

This dish is not only beautiful but incredibly tasty. The pompano is a flaky fish that pairs well with the zesty lemon and the warmth of ginger. When you bake it, all those flavors just come alive!

Here’s What You’ll Need

1 whole pompano fish, cleaned and scaled
1 lemon, sliced
Fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that we have our ingredients, let’s put on our chef hats and get started.

First up, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and hot, so the fish cooks evenly.
Next, grab that gorgeous pompano and place it in a baking dish. Make some slits on both sides of the fish to help those flavors soak in.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, ginger slices, salt, and pepper. This is where the magic begins!
Drizzle this mix over the fish, making sure it gets in the slits and all around it.
Now, stuff the cavity of the fish with lemon slices and more ginger if you like it zesty.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and pop it in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. You’re gonna want to check it about halfway through.
Once the fish is cooked through and flaky, remove the foil and let it bake for another 5-10 minutes to get a nice golden touch.
Finally, take it out of the oven and garnish it with fresh cilantro or parsley. This just adds a pop of color and freshness.

And there you go! A beautiful, whole baked pompano ready to be devoured. Serve it up with some rice or a fresh salad, and enjoy every bite. Trust me, your family is going to love this one!
