1 whole 2-3 lbs. rainbow trout or milkfish (bangus)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
sliced tomato pieces for garnish
Method:
Clean fish and cut lengthwise along its back to its stomach. Remove fish skeletal bone. Spread fish flat on a platter.
Marinate whole fish in soy sauce, lemon, salt and pepper for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.
Place fish, meat side up, in a lightly greased pan and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Broil in a preheated 3500 oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove aluminum foil cover and continue to broil uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until fully cooked and browned.
Leave oven door slightly open while broiling. Let cool a little. You may choose to serve fish whole on a platter, or cut into serving pieces. Garnish with sliced tomato pieces on the side.
