Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs fresh cod fish fillets (of frozen fillets, thawed)
1 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
fresh parsley sprig, for garnish
lemon slice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Arrange fish in a shallow casserole; pour half the melted butter over the fillets.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Place the fish in the oven and bake, uncovered, basting occasionally, until the fish flakes with fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley; serve with lemon slices and the remaining melted butter for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the lobster. Lobster is a delicate seafood, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque and tender. Overcooked lobster will be tough and chewy.
  • Make sure your sauce is thick and creamy. The sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure it's rich and flavorful. You can thicken the sauce with cornstarch or flour, or you can use a roux.
  • Serve the lobster Newburg immediately. This dish is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Poor man's lobster Newburg is a delicious and affordable seafood dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
