Roasted Mediterranean Orata stuffed with arugula and pignoli ( aka Sea Bream or Dorade)


I love this fish--beautiful white, flaky meat--no fishy taste.  Great for anyone fish shy.  Although I am clearly not fish shy, sometimes I am not in the mood for anything too strong and this fish is perfectly mild in flavor.

I stuffed it with an assortment of things in my refrigerator and it came out delicious.  A quick cook too!  The only issue was I overstuffed--it opened up when roasting--so next time I'll do less on the inside since they are typically around 1lb--their small size can't handle my stuffing!

Ingredients:
1lb orata (per person)
1 bunch arugula (make sure you soak and drain all the sand out)
1 lemon (sliced)
1/4 fennel (sliced)
approx. 2 TBSP pignoli
fresh basil
oregano salt & pepper
red pepper 

Roast at 400 degrees on a bed of lemon wedges for about 18-20 minutes.
