- 1/4 cup (60 ml) rice vinegar

- 2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- With a knife, carefully score the fish's skin to form three incisions on each side. Place the fish in a large baking dish. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the green onions. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the fish is cooked. The cooking time for a 454 g (1 lb) fish is about 25 minutes.
