2. Marinate it  with all the ingredients numbered 2. Keep overnight in the refrigerator. Take it out 30 minutes before baking.

3. Heat oven at 375 F.

4. Line a baking tray / cookie sheet with aluminium foil. Grease the foil. Place the marinated fish on top. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Take it out and flip carefully. Drizzle a little olive oil. Put it back in the oven and bake for another 15 – 20 minutes. Now set the oven on broil mode. Broil for 5 – 6 minutes or until the top part crisps up a bit. Take it out of the oven. Serve after 5 minutes. We had it with sauteed brussels sprouts, toast and roasted sweet potatoes.
