Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb whole pomfret , gutted
  • 1 tomato , diced
  • 1 small onion , peeled and diced
  • 1 inch piece ginger , peeled and diced
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Line a baking sheet with a foil big enough to hold and wrap the fish. Set aside.
  • Trim the fish by cutting the tail and fins. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water and then pat dry with paper towels. Score a diagonal crisscross pattern on both sides of the fish. Season with salt. Place the fish on the foil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the tomato, onion and ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff the head and cavity of the fish with the tomato/onion/ginger mixture. Fold the foil over the fish and seal the edges to form enclosed packets.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the fish for 45 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. Baking time may vary depending on the size of fish.
  • Serve with rice and spiced vinegar (pinakurat) on the side.
