whole snapper

🥗Healthier: whole trout

💰Cheaper: whole tilapia

Tilapia is often more affordable while still providing a similar texture.

white wine

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Vegetable broth adds flavor without alcohol, and vinegar is a cost-effective substitute.

1

The fish should be eviscerated and scaled.

2

If using potatoes, cut them into not-too-thin slices and place them in a baking tray, seasoned with salt and pepper and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

3

Bake with top and bottom heat, possibly with a fan, at 180º-200º C.

4

Meanwhile, season the fish with salt and pepper and coat it with olive oil.

5

Slice the lemon and tomato (both well cleaned) and place them inside and outside the fish for freshness, flavor, and juiciness. Optionally, add onion slices as well.

6

After about 20 minutes of cooking the potatoes, place the fish on top and continue cooking at the same temperature, but without the fan.

7

When the tomatoes and lemon appear wrinkled and the fish skin starts to peel, flip the fish and let it cook for another 5 minutes until done.

8

Check that the skin comes off easily and that the meat is shiny and juicy.

9

Remove from the oven and cover with a clean cloth for a few minutes to let the juices settle before serving.
