  2. Grease a casserole dish with 1 tbs of the butter.
  3. Thinly slice the onions and seperate into rings.
  4. Toss the onions with the remaining spices to coat.
  5. Spread half the onions in the bottom of your dish.
  6. Cut the fish into medium-sized pieces and arrange over the onions.
  7. Cut several slits in the dried limes and nestle them amongst the fish.
  8. Scatter the minced garlic over top.
  9. Dot the remaining tablespoon of butter over top.
  10. Top with the remaining onions, then cover the whole dish with the tomato slices. Overlap the tomato slices slightly as the will shrink when baking.
  11. Pour the pomegranate molasses dissolved in 3/4 cup water, over top.
  12. Bake the dish for 45-50 minutes, until the onions are softened. Serve warm over a rice dish such as Bahraini Sweet Rice (Muhammar) or Rice With Onion (Mashkoul) or with fresh bread to mop up the juices and a fresh salad.
