Method
- Clean the snapper of scales and entrails. You can bake it with the head or reserve it for other preparations, such as a soup.
- Make some crosswise cuts in the back so that the marinade penetrates the meat better.
- Prepare the marinade with the lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and oil.
- Rub the whole fish with the marinade and reserve it in the refrigerator, if possible from the night before.
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (170 °C).
- Grease the bottom of the baking tray with butter or oil. Place the washed potatoes cut into rounds, spreading them out evenly.
- Place the snapper on top of the potatoes and cover it with onion rounds.
- Bake for about 40 minutes in total. During the first half hour keep it covered with aluminum foil so that the meat remains juicy.
- Remove the foil, check the doneness and leave it uncovered in the oven, at the same temperature, for 10 more minutes.
- Serve hot, fresh from the oven. Enjoy!
