BAKED BOSTON BLUEFISH



Baked Boston Bluefish image

From an easy recipe card from the fish counter. Boston Bluefish is considered an oily fish with a rich, strong flavor and less white meat. The fat is distributed throughout the flesh keeping it moist during cooking. FYI-If you've never had bluefish before, it's strong taste doesn't work with any preparation the way a milder fish might. I used to have it broiled rather simply, with butter and lemon and a touch of paprika, which is fine but this will be a nice change of pace.

2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, sliced thin
2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed flat parsley leaves

Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Core tomatoes and slice 1/4-inch thick. Place on rack over baking sheet and salt generously on both sides. Set aside 1 hour.

ITALIAN BAKED BLUEFISH



Italian Baked Bluefish image

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:

  • Choose the Right Bluefish: Opt for a firm and shiny fish with clear eyes and reddish gills. Check for a mild, briny scent, and avoid any with a strong fishy odor.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature before preparing the fish to ensure even cooking.
  • Season Generously: Use a blend of herbs, spices, and salt to enhance the flavor of the bluefish. Popular choices include lemon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme.
  • Use Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil not only adds a delicious flavor but also helps keep the fish moist during baking.
  • Roast Vegetables: To create a complete meal, consider roasting vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or potatoes alongside the bluefish. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a flavorful side dish.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the cooking time to prevent overcooking. The exact duration depends on the thickness of the fish fillets, but generally, aim for 10-12 minutes per inch.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the baked bluefish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an appealing presentation.
