Tips:
- Choose the freshest scrod fillets possible. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell.
- If you can't find scrod, you can substitute another mild-flavored white fish, such as cod, haddock, or flounder.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish. Scrod is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooked scrod will be dry and tough.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables to add flavor to the dish. Some good options include parsley, thyme, basil, oregano, tomatoes, and onions.
- Serve the scrod immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the fish is hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Scrod with capers and roasted tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is mild and flaky, and the capers and tomatoes add a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
