ITALIAN BAKED BLUEFISH

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:

  • Select the freshest bluefish available: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
  • Clean and prepare the bluefish properly: Remove the head, tail, and fins, and then fillet the fish. Rinse the fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Marinate the bluefish fillets: Marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor and moisture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the recipe: Vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and zucchini add color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
  • Bake the bluefish fillets at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Serve the bluefish fillets immediately: Once they are cooked, serve the bluefish fillets immediately with your favorite sides.
