INGREDIENTS
- 4 white fish fillet whiting, cod, halibut, tilapia
- 1 small onion
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest
- salt & black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, lemon wedges for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- The oven should be preheated to 390 °F.
- Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, butter, garlic, heavy cream, and dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Remove from the heat after cooking for two to three minutes, or until fragrant. After stirring until the butter melts, set aside.
- Arrange the fish fillets in a single layer on a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. After adding the sauce, sprinkle the fish with the onion. Fill the baking dish with cream sauce by pouring it in between the fillets.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish flakes readily with a fork.
- Take out of the oven. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley.
NOTES
- Let the fish completely defrost before patting it dry with a paper towel if you're using frozen fish.
- When baking, you shouldn't have to turn the fish over. If you try to turn baked fish, it may fall apart and flake apart easily.
- It is preferable to have the fish slightly undercooked rather than overcooked if you are unsure about its doneness. The fish may take a little less or a little more than ten minutes, depending on how thick the fillets are. If it is flaky when tested with a fork, it is ready to eat.
