Join our very own Robert Oceguera (AKA TheNapa Cook) as he whips up a pineapple salsa that makes the perfect pairing for grilled fish.

If you’re a beginner with cooking whole fish, we would recommend a white-fleshed fish, such as mahi mahi, sea bass, branzino or red snapper.

Using an oil with a high smoke point, generously brush the outside of the fish with oil on both sides, being sure to also get the oil inside the slits you just cut. Then briefly brush some oil on the inner cavity of the fish.

We recommend fresh herbs, lemon slices and garlic. But please experiment with whatever seasonings you love! Also, one note on the garlic — be sure to stuff it all the way into the cavity of the fish, or it may burn if it is left exposed.

We recommend adding lots of sea salt, freshly-cracked black pepper, and garlic powder to the outside of the fish. Plus a bit on the inside cavity as well.

Roast on high heat: Cook your fish for 18-20 minutes at 450°F, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking time will vary according to the type/size of your fish.) Then remove from the oven.
Add lemon juice: Squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lemon evenly on top of your baked whole fish.
Serve immediately: Enjoy!!!
