👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or prepare your grill. Make several deep slashes on both sides of the cleaned fish. Season the fish inside and out with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- 2
In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens. Add the crushed bouillon cube and season with salt and pepper.
- 5
In a separate pan, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly golden. Alternatively, you can bake the seasoned fish directly without pre-frying.
- 6
Place the fried or unfried seasoned fish in a baking dish. Spoon the prepared spicy tomato sauce generously over and around the fish.
- 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or grill until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Basting the fish with the sauce during cooking is recommended.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
