Oven Roasted Stuffed Fish with Fresh Herbs and Pomegranate Paste
Treat yourself to the healthiness of the fish prepared with a melange of aromatic herbs. This recipe is coming from the north of Iran where you can find the best of fish from the Caspian Sea and the best of local aromatic herbs from the region.
We used white fish but you can use any large fish with a big enough cavity for the herb mix. Fresh fish, of course, is better. When you go seafood shopping, use all your senses to find signs of freshness in a fish: fresh fish meat is elastic. It means if you press on it with a finger it should spring back to its normal form. The eyeballs of a fresh fish are clear and shiny. There should be no signs of cloudiness. The gills should be pink or bright red. After time they turn dull or into brownish colours.
You can also replace the herbs with a mixture of your choice based on your location. For example, in north of Iran you can add Zeleng-o-anarije or Sersem to add more flavours. Just keep one thing in mind: Do control the aroma balance. For instance, rosemary is much more aromatic than parsley, so use it relatively much less.
Last but not the least, pomegranate paste is an indispensable ingredient of this recipe. It will not taste the same without it! Enjoy.,
