It is a light recipe and not very expensive since we will use an inexpensive fish, the whiting. However, the result is exceptional thanks to the aroma of basil and the flavor of these precious nuts: the pinions.

When we prepare it, what must be clear is that the baking time is is quite short. With about 10 or 15 minutes it will be enough although it will also depend on the thickness of the fish. So it is important that we are aware of the oven so that it does not pass us.

Ingredients

1 or 2 whiting (depends on the size and number of diners)
2 cloves of garlic
Some basil leaves
Pinions
Extra virgin olive oil
30 g of breadcrumbs
Sal Island

Music

Spread a baking dish with extra virgin olive oil. We open the whiting and remove the thorn from them. We put them on the tray, skin side down.
We wash and dry the basil leaves and prepare the pine nuts.
Chop both the basil and the pine nuts with the knife.
We put the basil, pine nuts, breadcrumbs and salt on the fish.
Also two cloves of garlic and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on the fish.
Bake at 180 ° (preheated oven) for approximately 10-15 minutes.

Notes

If we like the garlic flavor, we can chop it and put it on the surface of the fish, along with the basil. In this case I was not interested and I put the clicked garlic cloves.
