1. Rub the fish with salt and pepper. In a roasting pan, lay the fish atop bacon strips. Add the water. Bake in a 400° oven for 10 minutes.

2. Drain tomatoes, reserving juice. In a skillet, cook tomatoes, garlic, and onion in butter till onion is just tender. Add the red pepper and reserved tomato juice. Bring to boiling; pour over fish in pan.

3. Reduce the oven to 325°. Lay the lemon slices over the fish to cover. Bake, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes or till the fish flakes.
