Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes evenly over the fish.

Chop garlic, parsley, and onion, then mix in a bowl.

Add breadcrumbs, oregano, and a splash of white wine to the mixture and combine well.

Stuff the fish cavity with the breadcrumb mixture and some lemon slices.

Arrange cherry tomatoes around the fish in the baking dish.

Drizzle more olive oil over the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
