About the dish

Spigola al forno is a traditional fish dish with many variations. Although there are many variations, it's often made with a combination of sea bass, garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and herbs such as thyme, marjoram, or rosemary. The sea bass is scaled, washed, gutted, and then stuffed with chopped parsley, garlic, and herbs. The fish is placed into an oiled baking dish, seasoned with salt, sprinkled with breadcrumbs, and drizzled with a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil. Spigola al forno is then baked in the oven for about half an hour before it's ready to be enjoyed.
