Fish in tomato sauce

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Dorada (or sea bream) is a very tasty fish with tender and juicy flesh. It tastes best when cooked whole. With larger fish, make two or three cuts on the sides so the dorada cooks evenly. The dish is ready to serve.
