This is a great dressing/stuffing for a baked fish. It goes great with Salmon or Arctic Char because it is very green and a great contrast with the pink flesh of the fish. Once you have made the dressing simply stuff a whole fish with it and bake. Baking a whole fish is not hard at all. Simply set your oven to 350F. Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Size of the fish does not really matter so 4-5 lbs or more. Test for doneness but even with the stuffing it will work.
If you are not up for the stuffing try putting fresh sage in the cavity of the fish before baking. Works great and adds wonderful subtle flavour.
