Pesce arrosto alla mantovana

Mantua is a charming town in Lombardy known for its superb Ducal Palace and paintings by Mantegna. While the Lombards are not big fish eaters, they do enjoy sea bass and freshwater fish such as pike, carp, and perch. I prepared this recipe both with sea bass and cod, and the dish was lovely and delicate. Salmon is a bit more assertive in flavor, but would work well, too.
