Preparation of fish in Mexican sauce
Clean, scale, wash and dry the fish carefully, then grease the pan with oil and arrange the fish and sliced onion on it.
Pour a drizzle of oil on the surface of the fish and put it in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the sauce, whisk together the pine nuts, the hard-boiled egg yolks, the cream, a little salt and a little freshly ground pepper, in order to obtain a thick sauce.
When the fish is cooked, remove it from the pan and, after letting it cool completely, divide it in half following the direction of the length, gently removing all the bones, then arrange the two parts on a serving plate.
On half the fish, distribute the chopped prawns and half of the pine nut sauce prepared previously. After covering the remaining half of the fish, pour the remaining pine nut sauce over it.
At the end, before serving, season the vegetables with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in three separate bowls, placing them in a mound on the serving dish around the fish.
