1 Large Onion -- chopped
1 Bay leaf
5 tablespoons Olive oil Salt and pepper -- to taste

3 large Garlic cloves -- minced 3 large Red peppers -- seeded and minced ½ large Lemon - juice only Heat olive oil in frying pan. Brown onion and garlic. Fry peppers until mixture reduces to a pulp. Sprinkle fish slices with salt, put in baking dish greased with olive oil. Pour lemon juice and a thin stream of olive oil over fish and bake in preheated 325 degree oven, basting occasionally.

When pepper-onion-garlic mixture has reduced to a pulp, add a little of the juice from the baking fish, season with salt and pepper, add bay leaf, and continue cooking the puree another 5 minutes.
