Rosh Hashana-Inspired Roasted Branzino

Hey there, I'm Yasu Rice and welcome to my home where the hustle and bustle of shopping, cooking, and cleaning all week is our way of preparing the chabases. So when that special moment arrives, we sit back, take a deep breath, and say out loud, ahm shabas, is around the corner. We all do the head of the fish, the cop from the fish. Let's prepare the chenilovish shine. So when I was a kid, Roshashana, the main thing was the head of the fish. When it came out, this is like the eye of the fish and my brother would go like, "Ah, take a bite." Why not take the head of the fish and make something nice out of it? Not only that, the fish is a great fish for shashana or you can use it all year. When you take the tail off the fish, the rest of the fish is part of the head of the fish. And then you have a head of a fish that you can actually eat. That's beautiful. They have simunum with it. It's a gorgeous platter. A little bit of light olive oil. I have to cook my celery and my garlic and leak. All this amunum, right? Of course. The fish will cook faster than these vegetables will be ready. I'm going to cut them in like strips. These are raisins right here because I want a raise in my salad. So this is raisins. is the raise and salary and the salary is the same. Okay, so let's see what's going on over here. Well, then let's lower that cuz the leak and the cabbage. Oh, I didn't put in cabbage, but I put less. Okay, so put a little garlic for taste. You know why? Because you want your years go down fill a tongue like around little garlic. Next we start with the fish. First thing when you do fish is gloves. This is the part I love most. Taking off the tail. One, two, three. Luna. Done. One, two, three. Done. One, two, three. Ro. So, let's flavor this fish. A little salt and pepper and some lemon and some garlic. Going to stuff it. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] And this is how you want to prepare your fish dish. Take your vegetables. Oh, that's hot. Right on the bottom. Look at that. Take your fish. Nicely seasoned. You can go both ways. How about like this? Let's move this one to the side. My disposable cutting board. Look at that. Cracked it. You want to add some olives. Shaminum. Not shaminum. These are Toscanini sh I'm mean garlic olives. It's good. We're going to do a few different flavors. This one is a spicy one. Yeah. What's this? Original. Okay. I like the spicy one best. Some dates. Here we have a little bay leaves. We get a knife. If you give it a nice little cut, it brings out a lot more of the flavor. And you're just going to throw this out later. And if you have a little extra oregano, why not? I'm going to add a little bit of honey. Preheat your oven. 400 20 minutes. So, it's 20 minutes later and here comes the copa the fish. But we have a special guest today. Here he comes. Some little kid Schulam sends me an email with a video of him making a cooking show. This is the cutest little kid in the world. He's a huge fan of the Bar Hashem Shabas episodes. He loves the US videos. You know, he has the towel on his shoulder. He like basically makes fun of me and he made this funniest video ever. [Music] Hi, my name is Sher. Today we're making a lemon boat. I decided next time I shoot, I'm going to have to bring him down.
