Corvina with butter and herbs is a delicious way to eat fish. This is a great recipe for people who don’t like “fishy-tasting” fish, as corvina is very mild. It is fancy enough for guests, but quick and easy enough for busy weeknights.

For another easy weeknight meal, try my broiled corvina.

How to cook corvina with butter and herbs

First, we’ll make a very easy compound butter with the herbs. It sounds fancy, but it’s just mashing some chopped herbs into softened butter. 

Then, we’ll roll the butter up in a piece of parchment and put it in the freezer for a few minutes. While it is hardening up enough to slice, which doesn’t take long, we get the fish ready.

You’ll want to season both sides of your corvina. Place the corvina fillets on a parchment-lined sheet pan, top with herb butter, then bake. It is honestly that easy.

compound butter with herbs

I love making compound butters. The options are limitless – you could do a blend of herbs and citrus, just herbs (like we’ve done here), or go a completely different route and make them sweet. They are a great way to give your food a boost of flavor.

How to cook corvina in the oven

Baked or roasted corvina is a great way to cook this, or any, fish. Corvina with butter and herbs is one of the easiest seafood recipes I’ve ever made and it is perfect for weeknight dinner.

When you take the fish out of the oven, the butter will have melted and you’ll have a neat pile of green herbs on top of the corvina fillet. Take a knife, or the back of a spoon, and spread the herbs across the top of the fish

After you’ve seasoned the fish and topped it with a coin of compound butter, slide it into a 350°F (177°C) oven for about 16 minutes, depending on the size of your fillets.

The corvina will continue to cook (it’s called “carry-over cooking”) when you remove it from the oven. Let the fish cool on the hot baking sheet for a few minutes, then serve.

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.

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

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

Baking corvina in the oven is one of the easiest ways to cook fish. I love a piece of pan fried corvina, 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.

Curry seems to be one of those flavors that people feel very strongly about. They either love it or they hate it, there’s not much middle ground. I’m in the “love it” camp.  Just the smell of curry makes my heart flutter.

A long, long time ago in a city far, far away when I was in culinary school, we would wander the streets of NYC and more often than not we ended up in an area of Manhattan that had lots of spice shops and Indian restaurants. I think that’s where my love of curry was born.
