If you’re hooked on fried fish, it’s time to try baking it. A great baked fish recipe will change your life because like this one, it will be both delicious and beneficial to your health. Baking fish is extremely easy, in fact much simpler than frying it, requires few ingredients, and can be made quickly by the home chef. This recipe is enhanced with extra virgin olive oil, a monounsaturated fat which lowers artery-clogging LDL cholesterol, raises HDL cholesterol which sweeps LDL back to the liver for removal, and reduces inflammation. Furthermore, the mix of rosemary, thyme, and basil along with the extra virgin olive oil makes for an insanely tasty finish.
