Fish and Artichokes with White Wine


When I am at the fish shop and the place is empty, I always use that opportunity to question the fishmonger. How to keep the clams a day before cooking, what kind of fish is best for a certain type of cooking, do I keep the scales or not, or to give me advice on how to cook new kinds of seafood that I would like to try. The other day, I got some orata or gilt-head bream. There were no sole for the kids and gilt-head bream is my usual second choice to buy. I got 3 medium ones for dinner.


There are a lot of ways to cook whole fish like gilt-head bream but usually, I just drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil, put some tomatoes and whatever vegetables I can find in the refrigerator then slide it in the oven. Voila! That's dinner. That's when I am running out of time and I don't have the time to sit down and think what to do with the fish. 

There are times though when I have the time to think and spend more time in front of the stove. When it is artichoke season, this is absolutely great to cook. Truth be told, I am not an avid cleaner of artichokes. I love eating them (too much even!) but it stops there. These lemon and wine flavored artichokes pair perfectly well with the fish that was also cooked with wine.
