Baked Pompano Fish

Moist baked pompano fish stuffed with onions and sweet peppers.

Ingredients

• Whole pompano fish
• Onion
• Sweet pepper
• Lemon juice
• Salt, divided

Tools Needed

7 x 11-inch rectangular pan or 9 x 13-inch rectangular pan

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

1. Preheat convection oven at 425 degrees F.
2. Clean and removed the gills and insides of the fish. Slice across the body of fish on both sides. Fill it with ½ teaspoon of the salt.
3. Place the fish into the baking pan. Mixed the onion, peppers, lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
4. Place the vegetable mixture inside the fish and the gills area.
5. Bake covered with tinfoil or uncovered for 30-40minutes at 425 degrees F.
6. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Should I bake the fish covered with tinfoil or uncovered?

You can do both. If you want the fish very moist you can cover it with tinfoil. If you want it to be on the drier side, bake it uncovered. The good thing about the pompano fish is very moist. Even if you bake it uncovered, the fish remains moist.

What to Serve with?

You may serve the fish with your favorite dipping sauce or try my Simple Garlic Vinegar Sauce. Rice and vegetables also go well with the fish.

How to Store:

The fish can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
