Creamy Baked Fish
A quick and easy creamy baked fish recipe that's perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 fillets fish, skinless and boneless about 5-6 oz each, 1/2" thick
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1.5 tbsp French onion, finely chopped
- fresh parsley and lemon slices for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). This ensures your fish will cook evenly.
- Place the fish fillets in a baking dish, ensuring they are not too tightly packed. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- In a microwave-safe jug or bowl, combine the butter, cream, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Microwave in two 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth. This method prevents the sauce from overheating.
- Sprinkle the chopped shallots over the fish, then pour the creamy sauce over the fillets. This will ensure that every bite is flavorful.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through. Remove from the oven and transfer the fish to serving plates. Spoon the sauce over the fish and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Notes
For a non-alcoholic option, substitute the heavy cream with a mixture of milk and melted butter in equal parts.
