• 3 sprinkle fish fillets with the lemon juice.
• 4 cut tomatoes into 5 mm thick slices.
• 5 cover fish with the tomatoes, making sure that they're covered well (leave no gaps).
• 6 heat the olive oil in a small frying pan or pot. add onion and crushed garlic, stir until onion is translucent.
• 7 add capers and chopped parsley, mix well and let the mixture cook for one additional minute.
• 8 cover the layer of tomatoes with the herb-onion mixture.
• 9 put into preheated oven and let bake for 30 minutes @ 200 degrees celsius.
• 10 variations: it's possible to use other types of fish and/or to replace the parsley with other herbs (dill and tarragon would be obvious alternatives).
• 11 this is also an excellent barbecue dish; instead of using an oven-proof pan, put one fish fillet with some tomato slices and herb mixture in a "papillotte" of aluminum foil and put this "package" on the grill.
