Baked bluefish is a classic dish that is both delicious and healthy. It is a lean fish that is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for good health. Bluefish can be baked in a variety of ways, but the most popular method is to bake it whole, stuffed with a flavorful mixture of herbs, vegetables, and lemon. This allows the fish to cook evenly and retain its moisture, resulting in a flaky and succulent dish. Served with a simple green salad and some roasted potatoes, baked bluefish is a perfect meal for any occasion.

BAKED BOSTON BLUEFISH



Baked Boston Bluefish image

From an easy recipe card from the fish counter. Boston Bluefish is considered an oily fish with a rich, strong flavor and less white meat. The fat is distributed throughout the flesh keeping it moist during cooking. FYI-If you've never had bluefish before, it's strong taste doesn't work with any preparation the way a milder fish might. I used to have it broiled rather simply, with butter and lemon and a touch of paprika, which is fine but this will be a nice change of pace.

ITALIAN BAKED BLUEFISH



Italian Baked Bluefish image

This recipe was the result of a somewhat crazed search for a recipe to use up some bluefish not requiring the grill. I think it comes originally from a Betty Crocker book. It really is a brilliant treatment of fatty fish like bluefish. We love this preparation, though to be honest I think I am a bit more profilgate with the olives and capers and garlic than the recipe suggests.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest bluefish possible. Fresh bluefish will have a mild, sweet flavor and firm, white flesh.
  • Score the skin of the bluefish before baking. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent the skin from splitting.
  • Season the bluefish generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the bluefish at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the bluefish immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for bluefish include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.
