Let's cook

Heat the oven to 200°C. Pat the fish dry and check for bones.
Coat with oil, garlic, cumin, the juice of half the lemon, salt and pepper.
Bake in a suitable dish for about 12–18 minutes, depending on thickness.
Check an internal temperature of 63°C; the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Serve with the remaining lemon.
