EASY BAKED WHITEFISH OLE'
I got this recipe off a package of frozen whitefish, and it was a lifesaver when I was drawing a mental block on what to cook one night. I added some black pepper to this, and I served the fish with rice, some corn, and a salad. Although this serves four, we can easily eat this all between the two of us.

Steps:
- Wipe the whitefish fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, safflower oil and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fillets and let sit for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thin, using a food processor if you like. Arrange them in a shallow baking dish that will hold the fillets comfortably in one layer. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and dot with butter. You may need to make two layers or more of potato.
- Add the onion and half of the creme fraiche, spreading it over the potatoes, just enough to moisten. Sprinkle with paprika, cover and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and spread the fillets over the top. Pour the rest of the cream evenly over the fillets. Bake, uncovered, until the fish flakes with a fork, and the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Place the Fillets skin side down in a 9x13 glass cake pan (or cookie sheet with sides) Preheat oven to 350, If you have convection turn it on. If not plan on the cooking time being a bit longer.
- 2. Combine Cilatro and onion and rub into the fish gently
- 3. Mix the next five ingredients and eat a little with a whisk to be sure all is disperse evenly with the olive oil
- 4. Pour over fish and bake uncovered in the oven. Whitefish is done when it is opaque and the thickest part flakes. It is a very mild moist fish so the flakes are big
- 5. The skin will stick to the glass baking dish. I use a spatula to lift half the fillet off the skin then lift the other half. If you want the skin attached, spray the pan first.
- 6. I served this wonderful fish with Califlower which had Swiss cheese melted over it and a Pepper salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Select a mild-flavored whitefish such as tilapia, cod, or halibut. These fish will cook quickly and evenly.
- Season the fish: Before baking, season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the fish: The fish should be able to lay flat in the dish without overcrowding.
- Bake the fish at the correct temperature: The recommended baking temperature for whitefish is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly without overcooking.
- Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. As a general rule, allow 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness.
- Serve the fish immediately: Baked whitefish is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with lemon slices, herbs, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
