Categories     Savory

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs white fish fillets, Skinless
2 small onions, sliced into half rings
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons white wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup white wine or 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shaved

Steps:

  • Sauté onion in butter in heavy sauce pan over medium heat until transparent; not browned.
  • Spread onion oven bottom of a shallow baking dish.
  • Arrange fish over onion in pan, overlapping thin edges.
  • Pour wine or lemon juice over fish.
  • Add whipping cream to pan.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano.
  • Bake uncovered at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and top with cheese.
  • Cook un-covered for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and fish flakes easily.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest fish possible. Fresh fish will have a mild, sweet smell and firm, moist flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has dry, dull flesh.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to find a flavor combination that you enjoy.
  • Don't overcook the fish. White fish is very delicate and can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Baked white fish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will continue to cook if you let it sit for too long, and it will become dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Baked white fish is a healthy and delicious meal that can be easily prepared at home. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baked white fish turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, try baking some white fish. You won't be disappointed!
