Broiled Fish Staten Island Style

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves (4 tsp minced garlic)
• 10-12 oz. Sea Bass
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 tsp fresh chopped parsley
• 1/2 tsp fresh chopped basil
• 2 tsp lemon juice

1. Combine the oil and garlic in a blender until well-blended. Place the fish in a medium bowl. Pour the oil mixture over the fish. Marinate well about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven 500 F. Remove the fish from the bowl and place on a small broiling tray, about 1" larger than the fish. Spinkle the fish with salt, pepper, paprika and red pepper.
3. In a small bowl, combine the parsley and basil. Then sprinkle over the fish. Pour the lemon juice over the fish.
4. Bake fish for 20-30 minutes.

Note:
This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Cookbook and came from the menu of Macaluso's in Miami Beach. The recipe originally calls for sea bass but sea bass is an endangered species so I used Cod instead. It was just as good. I don't know if I did the recipe right because I broiled and baked the fish. The recipe is supposed to be home-cooked Italian Staten Island style. I'm not sure if I did it right but it tasted delicious.
