Ingredients
  

  • 3 large onions
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 10 medium tomatoes
  • 4 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 large handful fresh coriander (cilantro)
  • 2 whole sea-bass mine were 300g each
  • 1 lemon
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
  • Slice the onions into rings and roughly slice the garlic.
  • Chop the tomatoes into quarters and add to a Deep Large Roasting Tin with the onions and garlic.
  • Drizzle over 3 tablespoons of the oil, season well with salt and pepper and stir to make sure everything is well coated.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes stir through most of the handful of chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves, leaving a few behind to stuff the fish with and garnish the dish at the end.

Prepare the fish

  • Slice half of the lemon and stuff into the belly of the fish along with a few coriander (cilantro) leaves.
  • Rub the tablespoon of olive oil all over the fish skin to coat it well and season well with plenty of sea salt.
  • Lay the fish on top of the tomato and onion mixture and bake for a further 15 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

Optional step

  • When the fish is cooked through, turn the grill on for a couple of minutes to crisp up the skin on the fish and char it slightly.
  • Squeeze the juice of the remaining half a lemon over the dish and serve garnished with a sprinkling of the chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves.
