2 slices of lean bacon
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped drained canned tomatoes

Provided by Alan in SW Florida

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 scrod fillets (6-8 ounces each)
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups white wine
1/2 cup butter, melted and divided
1 cup dried breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Butter a baking pan large enough to hold the scrod in a single layer. Place the scrod in the prepared baking pan, and add salt, pepper, lemon juice, and wine. Drizzle a 1/4 cup of the melted butter over the fish.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, or until fish flakes but is still moist.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Scatter the bread crumbs over the fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter.
  • Brown under the broiler for 2 to 5 minutes only, just until lightly browned, and serve.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality fish: Choose fresh or frozen scrod fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet flavor.
  • Properly season the fish: Before cooking, season the scrod fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to enhance their flavor.
  • Use ripe tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes in the sauce. You can use a variety of tomato types, such as Roma, cherry, or grape tomatoes.
  • Crispy bacon adds flavor: The bacon in the recipe adds a smoky, savory flavor to the dish. Cook the bacon until it is crispy for the best results.
  • Sherry adds a touch of elegance: Sherry is a type of fortified wine that adds a subtle nutty flavor to the sauce. If you don't have sherry, you can substitute dry white wine or chicken broth.
  • Fresh herbs brighten the dish: Fresh herbs, such as thyme and parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Use them as a garnish or stir them into the sauce.
  • Serve immediately: Scrod is best served immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

This scrod with tomatoes, bacon, and sherry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tender, flaky fish is complemented by the flavorful sauce made with ripe tomatoes, crispy bacon, and aromatic sherry. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, for a complete meal.
