Filipino Baked Milkfish (Baked Bangus)

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with enough aluminum foil to cover the whole bangus.

Step 2
Remove scales and gills from bangus. Wash the innards. Pat fish dry with a paper towel.

Step 3
Mix tomato, onion, and 1/3 of the ginger together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cut open the front side of the fish and fill with the tomato mixture. Place fish in the prepared pan.

Step 4
Mix calamansi juice, soy sauce, garlic, and remaining ginger in a separate bowl. Pour over the fish in the pan. Fold foil over the fish and seal all ends.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 60 minutes.
