- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (slice the rest to put on top of the fish)

- 2 tsp Celtic salt or Sea Salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 °C (390°F).

Combine everything but the fish in a food processor or a blender and process into a salsa like consistency.
