Method

Pour ¼ cup of the oil into a deep saucepan large enough to hold the chunks of fish in a single layer, and swirl it to cover the bottom of the pan. Place the pieces of fish over the oil and season with salt and pepper. Top the fish with layers of cilantro, onions, lemons, and bay leaves, in that order.
