Cleaning the fish is key to this Filipino fish recipe for bangus, or milkfish, baked with tangy calamansi juice, soy sauce, and tomatoes.
Step1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with enough aluminum foil to cover the whole bangus.
Step2
Remove scales and gills from bangus. Wash the innards. Pat fish dry with a paper towel.
Step3
Mix tomato, onion, and 1/3 of the ginger together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cut open the front side of the fish and fill with the tomato mixture. Place fish in the prepared pan.
Step4
Mix calamansi juice, soy sauce, garlic, and remaining ginger in a separate bowl. Pour over the fish in the pan. Fold foil over the fish and seal all ends.
Step5
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 60 minutes.
