Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds whole milkfish (bangus), or more to taste
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (2 inch) piece ginger, thinly sliced crosswise, or to taste, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 calamansi, juiced
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with enough aluminum foil to cover the whole bangus.
  • Remove scales and gills from bangus. Wash the innards. Pat fish dry with a paper towel.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 60 minutes.
