Merluzzo is sooo good! It's a nice flakey, mild tasting fish. I'm not going to lie here, I buy it from my fish monger already clean and frozen. I hate cleaning fish. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever cleaned fish, except shrimp. That's easy.
So anyway, I took out the fish fillets a couple of hours before I wanted to cook them. They don't need that long to defrost.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Brush a baking dish with some olive oil.
Place the fillets in the pan and season with salt and pepper.
Add a sliced garlic clove.
Sprinkle with herbes de provence.
Dust with some ground almonds.
Add a splash of dry vermouth.
Top with a few cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle with a little more olive oil.
Bake for 15 minutes.
This was really tasty! You must try it.

This seems like it would be delizioso! I am an Italian-American, raised in the USA, although my heritage is half-Sicilian. I have been seeking authentic Sicilian recipes, particularly those that are allergen-friendly since I am allergic to dairy, eggs, and yeast, as well as intolerant to nightshades, wheat, and flour products, much of the time. Nightshades include tomatoes, but I think I could make this recipe without the tomatoes. I wonder how it would be with marinates artichokes instead for the tanginess that tomatoes provide, although the same sweetness wouldn't be there. I have some whiting I want to finish using up in the freezer. :) Thank you!
