4. While potatoes boil, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Add chopped onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Stir in minced garlic and chopped tomatoes. Cook for another 3 minutes.
7. Pour in 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Simmer gently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
9. Grease a baking dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.

11. Spread the tomato-onion mixture evenly over the fish and potatoes.
12. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
