👨🍳 Instructies

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Rub the marinade all over the fish, making sure to get some inside the cavity and into the slashes. Place the sliced onions inside the cavity of each fish.

Place the marinated fish in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with vegetable oil.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the fish.
