Baked Seabass In Lemony Sauce....

I have not been cooking as well as sharing any nice homecook food over here for quite some time already. So this delicious baked fish cook up by son H for yesterday dinner gives me an opportunity to share it with my readers.

Yesterday, mother and son had some quality time together shopping in Jusco, when this full of surprise son wanted to buy a seabass while I was looking at the nice pinky salmon. At first I refuse to buy it as the staff there refuse to scale and remove the internal organs when requested as what I used to get it done when bought from the wet market. Later I relented when son insisted on cooking it for dinner. So here I play cameraman again while watching my favourite drama on TV while son H cook dinner.


The whole seabass (siakap) after scaling and cleanup.....cheap, cost only rm 7 ++


Son H caramelizing sliced big onions with bacon, sugar and lemon juice for stuffing...........


My little chef in action.................


Mixture of lemon zest, sea salt, and pinches of saffron which I bought from Bali. (this is only 1/3 of the mixture left as I was busy with my drama watching...)

The lemon mixture being rub into the slits of the seabass after placing it on a sheet of aluminuim foil brushed with butter.......


The caramelized onions ready for stuffing..........

Son H stuffing the onions into the fish torso..........


Squeezing lemon juice over the fish...............

Placing sliced lemons inside fish..............


Underneath and on top of fish...............

Drizzling in a little olive oil with a dollop of butter on top of fish....


In goes the wrapped fish into a preheated oven of 180 degree Celcius for 20 to 25 minutes........

Out comes the piping hot lemony fish after 25 mins........

His Ko Ko (elder brother) came back just in time from a stressful day at work to gobble up a quarter of the fish ( not bad for an enemy of fish with bones) and giving the thumbs up when ask to give his verdict.....Thank you son H, for another wonderful dish...!
