1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

   💡The fish is done when the flesh near the backbone is white and flakes easily with a fork; a white, opaque eye is another sign.
