A lean, cheap and tasty blue fish that perhaps not everyone knows. Here's how to cook it steamed, baked, grilled and how to taste it
Lampuga is a blue fish who lives in the Mediterranean and in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its meat is lean and very tasty and lends itself to many preparations.
Here are some ideas to cook it.
How to fillet the dolphin fish
You can cook the whole lampuga baked or grilled, or fillet it to have a clean cut and without thorns also suitable for children.
Then eliminate the head and tail and then with a sharp knife cut from the belly going up towards the back to eliminate the central bone.
Always remove the skin with the knife that will come off easily.
If you want to cook it in the pan you can also keep it. In this case it is always better to cook the fillet only from the side of the skin to more gently spread the heat to all the meat.
Steamed fillet of dolphins
If you want something very delicate, steam the fillet perhaps with some lemon leaves at the base of the basket.
Accompany it with seasonal vegetables always gently cooked and seasoned with a little oil and aromatic herbs.
Grilled lettuce
For this type of cooking it is better to use whole fish with skin and possibly a barbecue.
In this way the skin is roasted and the inside remains soft, tasty and juicy.
Baked lampuga
In this case you can do one salt cooking very simple covering the whole fish with coarse salt or even just the bottom of the pan, or you can use the fillets and cook them with potatoes and cherry tomatoes wetting with white wine and oil.
The children will certainly go crazy for the gratin, then bread the fillet with a mixture of chopped bread with garlic and parsley and cook on parchment paper at 200 ° for about 15 minutes.
The perfect mince for fish
We advise you to keep some sort of fridge in the fridge green sauce which is good for all types of fish and can be used both as a condiment or in cooking.
It is prepared by blending parsley with garlic, oil, lemon juice (not too much) and a pinch of salt.
If you like it, a pinch of pepper adds a little sprint.
Add this sauce to the preparations in the pan or in the oven or cold on the grills and steam cooking.
