"Salmon Fish" (سمك سلمون بالفرن)

Today's recipe is the "Baked Salmon Fish".
A special request from fish lovers.

The salmon is very fatty that's why it needs lots of lemon, specially if baked, because all the fats will remain in the baking dish.

Ingredients needed:

4-6 pieces of salmon, size as shown in the picture above.
Flour and salt for washing the salmon.
1 sliced tomato.
1 sliced green pepper.
1 sliced red onion.
2 tsp crushed garlic.
2 lemons.
Cumin, salt and pepper.


Directions:

1. Wash salmon with flour and salt then rinse with water.
2. Season salmon with the juice of 2 lemons, salt, pepper, cumin and 2 tsp of crushed garlic.
3. Place fish in the baking dish and leave for at least 2 hours in its seasoning.
4. Slice 1 tomato, 1 green pepper and 1 red onion and add them on top of fish. Start with a layer of onions then layer of green peppers and at the top the tomato slices.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Cover the dish with Foil and place in the middle rack for at least 45 min.
7. When the fish is fully cooked (check its tenderness with a fork), uncover for 15 minutes.
8. Don't let the dish get dry, if so then add some water, just to cover the bottom surface of the baking dish.
