If you’ve never tried corvina before, you are in for a treat. It is a very mild-tasting fish that is almost sweet and has a wonderful buttery texture. A few years ago, I made this corvina recipe with coconut curry sauce. It was a big hit with everyone who tried it and before I knew it, people were asking for more corvina recipes.

a mild flavored fish like corvina is great for people who don’t like fishy-tasting fish

I make a new corvina recipe about once a month for clients, but I’ve been totally remiss about sharing them with you guys. I’m sorry! The more I talk to the people I cook for, the more I’m realizing that corvina has become the favorite, pretty much across the board.

It is very mild, so the folks who don’t love a strong-flavored fish (like salmon) really like it, as well as the people who love all seafood.

how to cook corvina

baked corvina is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fish

Baking corvina in the oven is one of the easiest ways to cook fish. I love a piece of fish seared in a hot pan, but sometimes I don’t want to stand over the stove. Those nights call for baked fish.

To bake your fish, season both sides of your corvina. Place your portions on a parchment-lined sheet pan or in a baking dish. Add tomatoes, olives, capers and white wine to the pan, then bake. It is that easy.

You can flavor your fish with anything that suits your mood, but my go-to’s are usually white wine, butter and lemon or this tomato, olive and caper combination. It gives the corvina a ton of flavor and makes a delicious topping for your baked fish.

Helpful tools for making baked corvina:

• fish spatula – this is the same one I own. I love this spatula and use it for much more than fish.
• commercial sheet pans – sheet pans that won’t warp in the oven
• parchment paper – lining the sheet pans keeps your food from sticking!
• boning knife – a thin, flexible blade that is useful when working with chicken, beef or fish.
• white platter – I always plate food on white platters, it shows off your hard work!
