CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE
Charming fish shacks and salty sea air aren't a weeknight possibility for most of us, but thankfully, this recipe is. It features a clever technique from recipe developer Molly Kreuger: Creamy tartar sauce is spread on the fish to add flavor, keep the fillets moist during cooking and help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish. (Feel free to use your favorite tartar sauce in place of the one below.) The fish is baked until nearly cooked through, then broiled to toast the breadcrumb topping. The end result is crispy, creamy, tangy and moist, all of which is achieved without having to deal with a big pot of oil. Eat with more tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
- Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
- Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
- When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)
BAKED SALMON
I often make this very moist and flavorful oven-baked salmon for company because I can have it ready in less than half an hour. This baked salmon with lemon is well complemented by rice or a green vegetable and a tossed salad. -Emily Chaney, Penobscot, Maine

Steps:
- Marinade fish fillets in lemon juice and 1 tsp of garlic powder as well as a little salt for around 10 minute.
- Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and the remaining 1 tsp of garlic powder.
- In a second container, combine the cornflake crumbs and coriander.
- Remove fillets from marinade, and spread on them the mayo/mustard, and then coat them completely with the cornflake mixture.
- Place them in an oven safe dish that's been sprayed with Pam or other cooking spray.
- Spray more Pam on top of the fish (this will make the fish crust crispy), and bake in the oven at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia work best.
- Season the fish well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices you enjoy. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
- Use a light coating of flour: This will help the fish to crisp up in the oven.
- Bake the fish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the pieces of fish so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork: Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
- Serve the fish immediately: Baked fish is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Oven-baked crispy fish is a delicious and healthy way to cook fish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a perfectly cooked crispy fish that will be enjoyed by the whole family.
