Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories dinner, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 pounds whitefish fillets
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced (green part removed)
Juice 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons safflower oil
2 tablespoons fresh thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 large sweet potatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 white fish fillets (tilapia, flounder, catfish)
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
lemon pepper
breadcrumbs

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cover baking sheet with foil and coat with light cooking spray.
Using a knife, spread 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise onto each fish fillet.
Sprinkle each fillet lightly with parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle each fillet with lemon pepper.
Sprinkle each fillet lightly with breadcrumbs.
Bake for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Tips:

Choose the right fish: Select a firm-fleshed whitefish such as cod, haddock, or tilapia. Avoid fish that are too oily or flaky, such as salmon or trout.
Prepare the fish properly: Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any bones or skin if necessary.
Use a flavorful marinade: Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and moisture.
Cook the fish at a high temperature: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking the fish. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from becoming dry.
Don't overcook the fish: Cook the fish until it is just cooked through. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
Serve the fish immediately: Baked whitefish is best served hot out of the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.

Conclusion:

Golden baked whitefish is a delicious and healthy seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to prepare and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create a flavorful and moist baked whitefish that your family and friends will love.
