Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
Set fillets in a large baking pan.
Ground garlic, salt and pepper with a spice or coffee grinder and spread evenly on fish.
Arrange bay leaves on fish.
Pour enough wine and olive oil on fish to almost cover it.
Sprinkle ½ cup cilantro and the oregano over fish, cover with foil and bake for 28 to 32 minutes, spooning pan juices over fish 3 to 4 times.
Cool to lukewarm.
Combine remaining cilantro, pepper, tomato and chives together.
Sprinkle on top of fish and serve warm.
