One of the famous dishes that feature Pompano is “Pinaputok na Pompano sa Asin,” a simple but flavorful dish that involves baking the fish in salt. Here’s a recipe for this dish:

Ingredients:

• 1 whole Pompano, scaled and gutted
• 2 cups rock salt
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the rock salt, minced garlic, and sliced onion. Mix well.
3. Stuff the Pompano fish with the salt mixture and place it on a baking dish.
4. Bake the fish for 30 to 40 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the salt crust is hard.
5. In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil and sauté the sliced tomatoes, green and red bell peppers, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens.
6. Remove the Pompano from the oven and crack the salt crust. Discard the salt.
7. Place the baked fish on a serving plate and pour the sauce over the top.
8. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Enjoy your Pinaputok na Pompano sa Asin!
