Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Clean the fish, remove the scales and the largest bones, then rinse and pat dry.
  2. Finely chop the garlic and parsley, then mix them with 2 tablespoons of oil, the juice of one lemon, the salt, the pepper and the paprika.
  3. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish and brush it with the marinade, including inside.
  4. Slice the second lemon and the onion into rounds, arrange them in an oiled dish and place the fish on top.
  5. Drizzle with the remaining oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Serve immediately, spooning over the cooking juices.

Variations and tips

Oven-baked fillets. Use cod or hake fillets, cooked for only 12 to 15 minutes.
