QUICK AND EASY BAKED FISH FILLET



Quick and Easy Baked Fish Fillet image

We love boating here in the Hamptons in NY. Fluke (summer flounder) fishing is one of our favorite past times. The water is so clean you can actually watch the fish going to the hook. With fresh fish, we enjoy very basic, tasty recipes. This is a keeper!

EASY CHEESE BAKED FISH



Easy Cheese Baked Fish image

I quite often bake my fish this way. Easy & simple, nothing fancy, but we like the result. I actually do not even measure the ingredients anymore and just throw it together, but these are the original measurements. Sometimes I add a little lemon juice or lemon pepper seasoning and top it all off with a sprinkling of parsley for a little colour.

Cooking Light's Easy & Crispy Baked Fish Fillets image

From Cooking Light Magazine. This is a healthy and delicoius recipe that bakes a moist and tenderv fish with a crispy outside. You won't even miss the fat! Haddock, cod, or tilapia would make good substitutes for the grouper but you can try it with any fish you like or have on hand. Adjust the baking time depending on the thickness of the fish.

OVEN-BAKED FISH STICKS WITH EASY TARTAR SAUCE (KID-FRIENDLY)



Oven-Baked Fish Sticks With Easy Tartar Sauce (Kid-Friendly) image

Although cod is stated in the ingredients this recipe will work good using tilapia or white fish fillets. This will serve about 3 people, but can be easily doubled. The already crushed cornflake crumbs that you purchase in a small box will not work as well for this recipe, the texture is too fine and the fish sticks will not be as crispy, try to use regular cornflakes cereal and grind them in your processor. You can double the tartar sauce recipe if you prefer more sauce, try to make the sauce even up to a day ahead to blend flavors. This is a great recipe for kids of all ages LOL!

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like cod, halibut, or salmon work best for baking. Avoid delicate fish like sole or flounder, as they can easily overcook.
  • Season the fish simply: Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: If you have the time, marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will add even more flavor.
  • Cook the fish to perfection: The best way to tell if the fish is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it's done.
  • Serve the fish with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Baked fish is a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart health.
