Categories     Entree

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1.5 lb Cod fillet pieces, (4-6 pieces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
5 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
  • In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
  • Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
  • To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
  • Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
Zest of 1 lemon plus 1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater
Pinch kosher salt
4 to 8 spring onions or scallions
4 sole fillets

Hot Hungarian paprika, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the butter: Meanwhile, whisk together the butter, lemon zest and juice, capers, garlic and salt in a medium bowl.
  • For the sheet: Slice the spring onions in half lengthwise. If using scallions, they can be left whole.
  • Make sure you have all of your ingredients ready to go so you can assemble the sheet and return it to the oven quickly. Remove the sheet from the oven once the oven is preheated. Quickly add the fish in a row, leaving about an inch between each piece. Drizzle the butter mixture over the top, add the lemon slices over the fish, then the spring onions. Sprinkle with paprika.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish: Fresh fish will have a more delicate flavor and texture than frozen fish. If you're using frozen fish, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Choose the right cooking method: The best cooking method for fish will depend on the type of fish you're using and your personal preferences. Baking is a good option for most types of fish, as it produces a moist and flaky result.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. The best way to tell if the fish is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it's done.
  • Season the fish well: Fish is a mild-flavored protein, so it's important to season it well. Salt, pepper, and lemon are classic seasonings for fish, but you can also use other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Fish is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help to preserve the fish's delicate flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Baked fish with lemon is a simple and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This dish is also a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for good health. By following the tips in this article, you can bake a perfect fish dish every time.
