Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:
To prepare the dish, take a halibut fillet, lemon (you will need several slices), onion, fresh tomato (take a few slices), salt, ground black pepper, you can take your favorite spices to your taste, but so that they do not clog the natural taste of the products used. not to clog the taste is the main task of the cook, many often abuse such flavors as garlic, for example - this does not always indicate good taste.
Step 2:
Defrost halibut fillets on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator (or the top, depending on where you have a freezer). Then rinse it well, be sure to drain it with kitchen paper napkins. Lubricate the foil with sunflower oil and lay out the fillets, we will wrap them in portions. Season the fish with salt, pepper, and lightly pour lemon juice.
Step 3:
Lemon slices can be left nearby for flavor. Cut the onion into rings, put the rings on the surface of the fish.
Step 4:
Put a few slices of ripe tomato on top of the onion. As a result, fish and vegetables will secrete a lot of juice, in which they will be cooked under foil, mutually impregnating and flavoring. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance (10-20 minutes in advance).
Step 5:
Roll the foil tightly into an envelope, turning the edges inside. Place the foil envelope on a baking sheet or in a convenient baking dish with the seam up and send it to the oven. If you want the liquid to evaporate, slightly open the envelope after 15 minutes. Bake for about 30-35 minutes (the time and temperature are indicated approximately, focus on the features of your oven).
