With a firm texture and a buttery flavor that is superb on its own, John Dory is best cooked with just a few simple ingredients that won’t steal the show.
Ingredients
  • 1 John Dory, whole with insides removed
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • ¼ cup capers
  • ¼ cup quartered datterini or grape tomatoes
  • Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C)
  2. Rinse and dry the San Pietro thoroughly, then stuff with the garlic, capers and tomatoes. Set on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the skin easily peels away and the meat flakes when pricked with a fork.
  3. To serve: peel the skin off and discard. Section off four fillets and set on a serving platter then top with the capers and tomatoes. Discard the garlic. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and eat immediately.
