2 tbsp Chopped onion ((optional) )
2 cloves Garlic (thinly sliced)
¼ inch Ginger (thinly sliced)
1 tbsp Olive oil

½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
1 tbsp Oil or spray for the pan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C / Gas Mark 6

  • Bake - Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked.
  • Cool - remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.Pro tip - Use a large flat spatula to pick and transfer the fish without breaking.
