Blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute and then drain them.

recline above the shadow (cover the tail with aluminum foil) and complete with a round of oil. Cover the fish with a sheet of wet and wrung out parchment paper; bake at 170 ° C for 25-30 minutes (the fish will be cooked when it measures 65 ° C in the heart).
serve the croaker with vegetables, portioning it like this: equip yourself with a fork and spoon; take your head off, then remove the skin. Spoon along the fishbone, remove the first fillet gently and remove it with the help of a fork. Also remove the second fillet. At this point, lift and remove the central bone. Finally obtain the two remaining fillets, separating them from the skin.
Accompany the dish with a fruity, delicate, savory and vintage white wine. We liked the pairing with Bastianich Pinot Grigio 2018.
