Onions need to be peeled and chopped into rings, and tomatoes into slices. You will also need to remove the skin from the tomatoes first. The easiest way to do this is to immerse the vegetable first in boiling water and then in cold water.
When the potatoes and carrots become soft, they will need to be chopped into slices. All this preparation is necessary to ensure that the vegetables are baked in the oven with the fish and do not remain damp inside.

Next, you will need to cut the sleeve, fill its contents with grated Dutch cheese and return to the oven for another 10-12 minutes.
