Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Whole fish such as red snapper; sea bass or trout, cleaned (3-4 lb)
Salt and pepper
5 tablespoons Melted butter or vegetable oil
1 cup Pomegranate Sauce
¼ cup Pomegranate seeds or chopped parsley; for garnish

Preheat oven to 375'F. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper to taste and place in a deep baking dish large enough to fit the fish.

Place in oven and cook, uncovered, basting occasionally, until tender, about 35 minutes for 3 pounds; about 45 minutes for 4 pounds. Transfer fish to a serving platter and drizzle with Pomegranate Sauce. Garnish with pomegranate seeds.

This dish is often served with fried eggplant slices. Yields 5 to 6 servings. PER SERVING: CALORIES 261, PROTEIN 23 G, FAT 13 G, CARBOHYDRATES 13 G

Note: South of the Caucasus Mountains and east of the Black Sea, the rich land and temperate climate of Georgia yield a profusion of vegetables, herbs, nuts and fruits, including pomegranates. The many seeds of the pomegranate symbolize both fertility and good deeds.
