EASY BAKED WHITEFISH OLE'

I got this recipe off a package of frozen whitefish, and it was a lifesaver when I was drawing a mental block on what to cook one night. I added some black pepper to this, and I served the fish with rice, some corn, and a salad. Although this serves four, we can easily eat this all between the two of us.

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

MARGARITA BAKED WHITEFISH



Margarita Baked Whitefish image

I love Whitefish, It reminds me of heading up north to Wisconsin. My husband and I eat a lot of fish and I am always looking for new ways to prepare it. I got this idea from another recipie I use to make fish. This recipie was born tonight and it was delicious.

Provided by Deb Lund

Categories     Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 white fish fillets about 3/4 lb each ours weighed 1.39 together
3 green onions chopped fine
3-4 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1 small lime, juiced
1 Tbsp teriyaki marinade
2 tsp tequila
1 Tbsp olive oil, light
1 tsp aunt jane's mixed up salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place the Fillets skin side down in a 9x13 glass cake pan (or cookie sheet with sides) Preheat oven to 350, If you have convection turn it on. If not plan on the cooking time being a bit longer.
  • 2. Combine Cilatro and onion and rub into the fish gently
  • 3. Mix the next five ingredients and eat a little with a whisk to be sure all is disperse evenly with the olive oil
  • 4. Pour over fish and bake uncovered in the oven. Whitefish is done when it is opaque and the thickest part flakes. It is a very mild moist fish so the flakes are big
  • 5. The skin will stick to the glass baking dish. I use a spatula to lift half the fillet off the skin then lift the other half. If you want the skin attached, spray the pan first.
  • 6. I served this wonderful fish with Califlower which had Swiss cheese melted over it and a Pepper salad.
