How To Cook: |

|
1. Melt the lard in a small dish in the microwave oven. Brush it on the fish and sprinkle the fish with the salt and pepper.
|
2. Put the fish in an 8-inch square baking dish with the thicker parts of the fish placed in the corners and the thinner parts toward the center.
|
3. Bake, covered with wax paper or plastic wrap, about 12 to 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
|
4. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and with the wedges of tomato and lime. When ready to eat, squeeze the lime over the fish.
|
TIP:
|
If you can't find fresh cilantro, substitute ¼ the amount of dried cilantro and soak it in water while the fish cooks. Putting the thicker parts of the fish to the outside of the dish puts them in the quickest cooking part of the dish and allows for more even cooking. Food in the center of the dish cooks more slowly.
