1 large fish (whole with head, white fish preferably, allow around 1/2 lb per person)
Juice of one lemon
2 large finely chopped onions
3 cloves crushed garlic
1 lemon sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Salt and pepper
- Wash the fish under cold water - hopefully, your fish monger has gutted it!
- Rub the inside with salt, pepper and lemon juice and leave for half an hour.
- Meanwhile, slowly fry off onions until softened. Then add garlic. Place to the side.
- Drain off juice from fish and place on a baking sheet.
- Open the fish, sprinkle on parsley, and place sliced lemons along the length of the fish
- Spoon onion and garlic mix over the lemons and close fish.
- Wrap in foil and bake in a moderate oven 170°C/325of/gas mark 3 for around 40 mins, turning half way through.
- Remove foil and cook for around 15 mins in a slightly hotter oven (200°C/gas 5) until fish has browned slightly.
- Remove from oven and serve with new boiled potatoes, and a crisp green salad. It's delicious.
N.B Some fish may take longer than others, so check flesh at widest part to see it's cooked.You can also pop a few baby tomatoes around the fish when baking. This will add moisture, they taste great, and creates a colourful garnish too.
