Recipe - Hinurnong Isda (Baked Fish)

1 Whole bangus (about 2 lbs.
milkfish) or striped bass,
dressed
2 Lemon slices
1 One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 Big tomato, chopped
1 small Onion, chopped
2 Green onions, chopped
1 ds Pepper
1/8 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Butter

Norma I'm assuming the milkfish you bought is the same one we call bangus
in Filipino. I'm not a person that eats a lot of fish, and I never liked
milkfish much, but the only way that I liked to eat milkfish was the
following recipe. Be careful when you eat milkfish because there are a lot
of bones, seems like there are more bones than most other fish that I've
eaten.

1. Slit back of fish to open and remove backbone. Rub fish inside and out
with lemon slices, sprinkle with 1One fourth tsp. salt, Let stand about 20
minutes.

2. Combine tomato, onion, green onions, pepper and 1/8 tsp. of salt; stuff
mixture into stomach cavity of fish. Sew up opening.

3. Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Brush fish with melted butter, place in a
baking pan lined with greased aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes or
until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Baste with butter while
baking.
