The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

    About 10 min

    Cook’s note: Ensuring the oven is fully preheated helps the fish cook evenly from the start.

  2. 2

    Arrange the fish fillets in a single layer inside an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish.

    About 1 min

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the fish.

    About 1 min

  4. 4

    Layer the thinly sliced onion over the fish fillets.

    About 2 min

  5. 5

    Place the tomato slices on top of the onions.

    About 2 min

    Cook’s note: Overlapping the slices slightly is fine if needed.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the lime juice and vegetable oil evenly over all the ingredients in the dish.

    About 1 min

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.

    About 1 min

  8. 8

    Cover the baking dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Covering the dish steams the fish and vegetables, keeping them moist.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

    About 15 min

  10. 10

    Carefully remove the cover from the baking dish.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Be cautious of hot steam when uncovering.

  11. 11

    Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

    About 15 min

    Cook’s note: Cooking uncovered allows some of the liquid to evaporate and the top to brown slightly.

  12. 12

    Serve immediately, garnished with optional lime wedges for squeezing over the fish.
