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!

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.)
BAKED SALMON
I often make this very moist and flavorful oven-baked salmon for company because I can have it ready in less than half an hour. This baked salmon with lemon is well complemented by rice or a green vegetable and a tossed salad. -Emily Chaney, Penobscot, Maine

BAKED FISH
Cooking fish for 10 minutes per inch of thickness is an old rule of thumb that works perfectly when roasting fillets or steaks. It's just enough time to cook the flesh through so that it's opaque, but not so much that it flakes. The only hitch comes with fillets that are uneven. Use your judgment but err on the side of less is more. You can always put any undercooked parts back in the oven, but you can't undo overdone. Serve these as is in their purist form, or add your favorite sauce on the side. A pesto, aioli or vinaigrette would work well.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Any flaky white fish, such as cod, tilapia, or halibut is an excellent choice for this recipe. For a more flavorful dish, use a fish with a stronger flavor, such as salmon or trout.
- Don't overcook the fish: Baked fish needs to cook quickly and gently to prevent it from becoming dry and flaky. Bake the fish at a high temperature for a short amount of time, or at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time.
- Use a flavorful marinade: A marinade will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish. Use a marinade that is made with olive oil, herbs, and spices, or a citrus-based marinade. Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Season the fish well: Before baking, season the fish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a baking dish that is the right size: The baking dish should be large enough to hold the fish comfortably, but not so large that the fish is swimming in liquid. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size for most fish fillets.
- Bake the fish until it is cooked through: The fish is cooked through when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the fish should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a meat thermometer.
Conclusion:
Baked fish is a healthy, delicious, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your baked fish is moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Serve the baked fish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
