Instructions

1- Marinate the Fish:

• Clean the fish thoroughly and pat dry.
• Season them with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside to marinate.

2- Prepare the Onion and Tomato Sauce:

• In a pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the sliced onions and sauté them, occasionally covering the pan, until the onions soften and reduce in volume.

3- Cook the Fish:

• In another pan, heat a little olive oil.
• Lightly dust the marinated fish with flour.
• Fry the fish lightly on both sides until they begin to turn golden.
• Deglaze the pan with white wine, ensuring all the flavorful bits are lifted.

4- Assemble and Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
• In a baking dish, spread the fried onions and tomatoes as a base.
• Adjust the seasoning by mixing in 1 tablespoon of vinegar and black pepper.
• Place the sautéed fish on top, and drizzle with a bit more wine, olive oil, and lemon juice for flavor enhancement.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

5- Finishing Touch:

• Once done, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
