Method
- Clean the fish and make two small crosswise cuts on each side so the seasonings penetrate the flesh better.
- Season the yellowtail snappers with salt and pepper to your taste, rub them with the crushed garlic, and drizzle them with the lemon juice.
- Let them rest for half an hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170 °C.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices. Cut the onion into julienne strips.
- Grease the baking tray with olive oil, place the potato slices and the onion, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Place the fish on this bed of potatoes and onion and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
- Watch the doneness closely and, every time you check it, baste the fish with the juices it releases so that it remains juicy and flavorful.
