Spread spice rub evenly over both sides of fish.
Place fish on a rack coated with cooking spray.
Place tomato wedges, onion wedges, and wine in a shallow roasting pan, and place rack with fish over vegetables in pan. Cover with foil; bake at 425 for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake an additional 45 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Santi Sortesele Pinot Grigio. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
