Baked Fish Recipes
|
Here are a couple of baked fish recipes that are my particular favourites.
Halibut is available all year, but best from July to March - it's freely available frozen in the UK however.
Halibut with Mussels
1lb (500g) halibut steak
salt and pepper
1/4 pint (125ml) milk
1oz (25g) butter
cornflour/cornstarch to thicken
6 oz (150g)grated hard cheese
12 mussels - cooked
Heat oven to Gas Mark 5, 375F or 190C
Grease an ovenproof dish and put your halibut in. Dot with the butter and pour the milk over.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the halibut and increase the heat in the oven to Gas Mark 8, 450F or 250C.
Take out the backbone if your piece has one and strain the liquid.
Make a sauce out of the liquid, either thickening with cornflour or cornstarch.
Add the grated cheese and season to taste.
Place the halibut back in the dish, arrange the mussels and pour the cheese sauce over.
Return to the oven to brown for about 10 minutes.
Here is another of my favourite baked fish recipes.
Sea Bream is available all year, but is best between June and December.
Here is a lovely simple way of cooking a whole fish - Sea Bream is a favourite of mine, but you could use this method on any fish of your choice.
In all whole baked fish recipes, the cooking time should be 10 mins per lb (20 mins per kilo) and 10 minutes over.
Baked Sea Bream
1 bream about 2lb (1k) in weight, cleaned and scaled
Salt and Pepper
Lemon juice
Heat the oven to Gas Mark 5, 375F or 190C.
Grease an ovenproof dish and lay the sea bream in.
Season with salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice and bake for 30 minutes.
This is just so simple and tasty. Serve with potatoes and a salad.
