Instructions
- Prepare the fish by removing its guts. Leaving the head attached.
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 392°F.
- Place the fish in a pan that fits it. Season well with kosher salt adding some in its belly as well. Keep in mind that fish requires more salt than meat so season accordingly.
- Place some of the onion slices on top of the fish and lay the remaining ones all around the fish.
- Toss the garlic slices in the pan all around the fish. Sprinkle the parsley all over on top.
- Then top everything with the tomato slices.
- Drizzle the olive oil all over the fish and veggies.
- Season with freshly ground pepper.
- Then pour enough water in the pan so its bottom is completely covered by ½ inch in height (1cm).
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes. Make sure that throughout baking there is still water left in the pan. Otherwise, add a little bit extra.
- Remove from oven and serve drizzled with all the delicious juices from the pan.
