Donna’s Roasted Corvina with 40 Cloves of Garlic Pesto Almandine

Dear Friends, I have always loved the flavor of 40 cloves of garlic chicken and wondered how it would taste with fish so created this recipe to find out.  I was handsomely surprised with the depth of flavor and the sweetness of the garlic with the fish.  With quinoa and salad on the side, this meal was just perfect!  Best, Donna:
