Dorade with oranges and garlic

September 19th, 2018 | main dishes

A dream of a fish! Roasted as a whole in the oven, this sea bream bathes in orange and lemon flavors, fine fennel is reminiscent of the last Mediterranean holiday…

Dorade is ideal for grilling or baking in the oven. As Dorade royale, Dorade rosé or gilthead they are displayed at the fishmonger. We especially loved this dish with citrus fruits and a lot of garlic – and it’s also very easy. So: definitely recommended for imitation!

Dorade with oranges and garlic

(4 portions – Preheat oven to 220° C)

1 Dorade rosé (1,200 – 1,500 g)

wash, pat dry

10 sprigs of lemon thyme

3 garlic cloves, sliced

salt, pepper from the mill

stuff the thyme and garlic into the fish belly, salt and pepper vigorously, and place the fish in an ovenproof dish

4 organic oranges

1 organic lemon

peel off the peel of one orange and one lemon with a zester

squeeze two oranges and half a lemon

fillet two oranges, saving the juice, and set aside

4 TS olive oil

1 ts fennel seeds

125 ml white wine

100 ml fish stock

3 garlic cloves, sliced

mix with the orange and lemon juice, place over the fish in the ovenproof pan

cook the fish at 220° C for approx. 25-30 minutes, occasionally sprinkling with the liquid (the fish is done when the dorsal fin can be pulled very easily)

remove the fish from the sauce and keep it warm in the (switched off) oven

heat the orange fillets and the citrus peels in the sauce

salt, pepper from the mill

brown (vanilla) sugar *

4 stems of flat leave parsley, chopped

season the sauce with salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, arrange the bream with the sauce and serve garnished with parsley

* I always have a supply of brown vanilla sugar at home, read about it here at the end of the post.

Lisa Bunn und ihr Mann bei der Weinprobe am Fass

December 16th, 2017 | collaboration

Women’s power and the color lilac

I would describe myself as a wine lover, but definitely not as wine connoisseurs. I know if I like the taste of a wine or not. And, Yes, I confess that the label of a bottle for me is not quite irrelevant. Therefore, maybe my favorite color lilac was somewhat of a guide when I placed my first wine order in Nierstein [also known as Riesling city at the banks of river Rhine]. Because Lisa likes lilac. Now, the shooting star of the young German wine makers has promised to give her personal wine recommendations for selected Captain’s Dinner menus. And this is the way it happened.
