Orata al Forno con Carote Glacé

1.Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

2.Rinse the orata under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish to help it cook evenly.

3.Rub the fish inside and out with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Place lemon slices inside the cavity of the fish for added flavor.

4.Place the orata on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

5.While the fish is baking, prepare the glazed carrots. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrot sticks and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

6.Stir in the honey, grated ginger, vegetable broth, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze.

7.Once the orata is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the fish on a large platter, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside the glazed carrots.
