Instructions:Marjoram goes well with fish, and here's a recipe that uses it both in and on the fish.
Neither lake trout nor salmon need be scaled, but do scale the pike.
A whole baked fish on a garnished platter always looks good to guests.
Salt and pepper the fish inside and out, then stuff it and sew up or skewer the opening.
Place in a buttered pan and lay lemon slices along its length.
Stick a toothpick in each slice.
Add the vegetables, marjoram, bay leaf, and white wine and bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes in a 400 degree oven, basting first with the melted butter and then with the liquid in the pan.
CELERY STUFFING Saute the chopped celery and onions in butter in a small skillet for 15 minutes, until tender but still with a little bite.
Add the chopped celery tops and the bread crumbs.
Season to taste with salt, pepper, and savory.
Makes 1 cup.
FENNEL SEED AND TARRAGON STUFFING Mix all ingredients together and stuff fish.
