Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Fish

    Rinse the Madai under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure the fish is cleaned and scaled properly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Marinating

  1. 3

    Marinate the Fish

    Rub the marinade all over the Madai, including inside the cavity. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, slice the zucchini into rounds, and slice the red onion into rings. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Roast the Fish

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated Madai on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Surround the fish with the prepared vegetables.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the Madai from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley before serving.
