QUICK AND EASY BAKED FISH FILLET
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!

GREEK BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS
The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium's list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the "Good Alternatives" list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.

Steps:
- Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
- Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.

SIMPLE BAKED FISH IN FOIL WW
This is so simple, I can't believe I couldn't find it anywhere on zaar. The onion keeps the fish from drying out and gives a lovely mild flavor. We especially like Telipia, but any white fish can be used, as well as any of your favorite fish seasonings. We like lemon pepper or Dominant One (an all seasoning mix from hubby's Indiana hometown spice factory www.marionkay.com). Fresh fish from a camping trip is good also, in fact this method is great for outdoors, as it can be cooked on the grill for 20 min, clean up is a snap, just toss the foil.

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.)

YUMMY CRISPY BAKED FISH
Easy and healthier way to get crispy tasty fish. NOTE: you MUST use the right pan! Please be sure to use a broiler pan so the breading gets hot air on the bottom too and isn't soggy on the bottom when you go to turn it. OR use a cooling rack on a cookie sheet. Do not use a pan with sides as that will steam the fish, not make it crispy. I have never had the breading fall off using the correct methods. If you don't care for cornmeal use panko. I have used mostly mild whitefish like catfish or tilapia with great results. Don't be scared by the number of ingredients-it is mostly spices and herbs. Please adjust the spices, especially salt, to your taste. I have tried to post a balanced blend here but feel free to adjust mild, spicy, lower sodium etc...

Steps:
- Mix milk, vinegar and mustard and let set for 15 minutes. This will make a mustardy, buttermilky dressing to coat the fish.
- In a separate bowl mix cornmeal or panko with all the seasonings.
- Dip fish fillets in the milk mixture and then in the dry mixture.
- Spray broiling pan with cooking spray or brush with a little olive oil.
- Place fillets on prepared pan and place pan under broiler 4 inches from heat.
- Broil for 4 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. (Thicker filets will take longer. This timing is for tilapia)

BAKED FISH AND POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
Steps:
- 1. Turn on the oven to 400°F.
- 2. Place the potato wedges in the baking dish, pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over them, add 2 sprigs of rosemary, all the garlic cloves, and salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly. Put the dish in the preheated oven.
- 3. After 15 minutes, remove the dish to turn the potatoes over, then put it back in the oven. Cook until the potatoes feel tender when tested with a fork, another 10 minutes or so.
- 4. Remove the dish from the oven. Push the potatoes to the sides, making room in the center for the fish fillet to lie flat.
- 5. Wash the fish fillet, pat it dry with paper towels, and lay it flat in the dish, skin side down. Strip the leaves from the remaining rosemary sprigs, scatter them over the fish, add salt and pepper, and sprinkle the bread crumbs and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the fillet. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 14 minutes. Let the dish settle out of the oven for 3 to 4 minutes before bringing it to the table.
BAKED PARMESAN FISH
Healthier and tastier way to serve fish.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Opt for firm-fleshed fish like salmon, cod, or halibut that can withstand the heat of baking.
- Preheat your oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the desired temperature before placing the fish in, so it cooks evenly.
- Season and marinate: Enhance the flavor of your fish by seasoning it with salt, pepper, herbs, and spices. You can also marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for extra flavor.
- Use parchment paper or foil: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent the fish from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Bake until cooked through: The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fish, but a good rule of thumb is to bake it for 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness.
- Check for doneness: Insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish to check if it's cooked through. The fish should flake easily and be opaque throughout.
- Let it rest: Once the fish is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful fish.
Conclusion:
Baked fish is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its simple preparation and endless flavor possibilities, it's a perfect choice for busy weeknights or special occasions.
