Ingredients

3 fish, about 500g each, (Snapper, Sea Bass, Trout)
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
For the filling:
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 white onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 tomato, grated
12 olives, pitted and sliced
For the butter sauce:
A handful of parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon light butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the fish thoroughly, removing any scales and innards. Make a lengthwise slit along the belly of each fish, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the inside of the fish with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the grated tomato and sliced olives. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stuff each fish cavity with the vegetable mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Place the stuffed fish in a baking dish greased with olive oil. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare the butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the light butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley and water, and simmer for another minute.
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and carefully transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the butter sauce over the stuffed fish and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious stuffed fish with your favorite side dishes or salads.
