A roasted fish with Croatian Blitva is a typical sight on the Dalmatian dinner table. The fresh flavors complement one another and the simple ingredients are available almost anywhere. The dish is simple to prepare and can be ready in 45 minutes or less.
I prepped two 1 lb. rainbow trouts to serve two people. I rinsed the fish, patted dry, and then seasoned inside and out with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. I stuffed them with fresh parsley, garlic cloves, and lemon wedges and set them aside while the oven heated to 400 degrees.
I prepared some Swiss Chard and potatoes for Croatian Blitva as I let a pot of water reach a boil, adding the potatoes first then the greens. Five minutes after the potatoes went into the pot, I put the trout into the oven and roasted the whole fish for 10 - 15 minutes. Finally, I added some basil infused olive oil atop the fish before serving with the Blitva.Roasted fish and Blitva made for a simple and flavorful meal. While not nearly as popular or famous as the cuisine across the Adriatic Sea, Croatian cuisine is something worth exploring.
