Difficulty and servings
Serves 2
Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 45 minutes- Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Make 2 diagonal slashes on one side of the fish and push a lemon wedge into each. Oil an oval ovenproof dish (earthenware is authentic). Put in the fish, cut-side up.
- Tuck the sliced potato, tomato, onion and bay leaves around the fish. Pour over the rest of the oil, the lemon juice and wine. Season well.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes to crisp the fish and brown the potato edges.
