EASY CHEESE BAKED FISH



Easy Cheese Baked Fish image

I quite often bake my fish this way. Easy & simple, nothing fancy, but we like the result. I actually do not even measure the ingredients anymore and just throw it together, but these are the original measurements. Sometimes I add a little lemon juice or lemon pepper seasoning and top it all off with a sprinkling of parsley for a little colour.

OVEN-BAKED FISH STICKS WITH EASY TARTAR SAUCE (KID-FRIENDLY)



Oven-Baked Fish Sticks With Easy Tartar Sauce (Kid-Friendly) image

Although cod is stated in the ingredients this recipe will work good using tilapia or white fish fillets. This will serve about 3 people, but can be easily doubled. The already crushed cornflake crumbs that you purchase in a small box will not work as well for this recipe, the texture is too fine and the fish sticks will not be as crispy, try to use regular cornflakes cereal and grind them in your processor. You can double the tartar sauce recipe if you prefer more sauce, try to make the sauce even up to a day ahead to blend flavors. This is a great recipe for kids of all ages LOL!

Tips
  • Choose the Right Fish: Select a firm-fleshed fish like cod, salmon, or tilapia that can withstand the baking process without falling apart.
  • Season Liberally: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and any other herbs or spices you enjoy.
  • Use Good Quality Butter: Butter adds a rich flavor and helps keep the fish moist. If you don't have butter, you can use olive oil, but the flavor won't be as rich.
  • Preheat Your Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before you put the fish in. This helps ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • Cook Fish to the Right Temperature: The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C) for safety. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
  • Let the Fish Rest: After you take the fish out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion

Baked fish is a healthy and delicious meal that can be easily prepared at home. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baked fish turns out perfect every time. Experiment with different types of fish, seasonings, and cooking methods to find your favorite baked fish recipe.
