Baked breaded anchovies are a tasty and flavorful fish main dish, easy to make and thanks to baking, they preserve the properties of this wonderful type of bluefish.
As is well known, the consumption of bluefish, especially of small size, is highly recommended when it comes to healthy eating.
These fish indeed contain important nutrients and especially omega-3s, i.e., fatty acids that help combat inflammatory conditions in the body.
If you buy the fish already deboned and butterflied, executing this recipe will be a breeze.
Just accompany them with a fresh salad and lunch or dinner will be served in no time.
A breading with the scent of parsley and garlic coats the anchovies, which a baking will make crispy and flavorful.
An irresistible smell will invade your home as the time to take them out of the oven approaches and, I assure you, they will never be enough, one leads to another like cherries.
