    Coat the prepared fish carcass on both sides with a sour cream mixture. Stuff it with onions. Put the remaining onion rings on top of the fish.

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance. Cover a baking sheet or any other heat-resistant form with oiled parchment paper. Transfer the fish. Bake the dorado for about 40 minutes. During the baking process, the fish can be turned to the other side, but this is not necessary. The baking time and temperature may differ from those indicated.
