Baked fish suggestions?

Any recommendations for baked fish fillet preparation? Nothing too
exotic please; I prefer simple foods. I usually use commercial
breading, but would like something a bit tastier. Fish is usually
catfish or tilapia, cod when I can find it on sale at a decent price.
Any other inexpensive fish suggestions? I tried pollock once but
thought it lacked taste.

Have you tried just lemon, wine, and garlic? Or baked in milk? Another
idea is to slather it with mayo and lemon wedges. How about sauteeing it
instead? Broiling it?

Sounds interesting. Garlic minced or powder?

Make a mirepoix (diced onion, carrot and celery optional garlic) Place the
fish on the top of the uncooked mirepoix add white wine or white (French)
vermouth. Dot with butter and/or place thinly sliced lemon on the top of the
fish and bake. Don't forget the salt and pepper.

Fresh garlic, of course! You can always roast it first.......

Any of the fish you mentioned works well baked. Lemon adds zip;
lemon-pepper too. When I bake fish I always pour a little milk around it to
help retain moisture. The key is not to bake it too long. You want it nice
and flaky but not dry.

As for baked fish recipes - here's an easy and tasty one:

1-1/2 lbs. mild white fish fillets
1 can cream of celery soup (no, I'm not joking)
1/4 c. milk
3 tsp. dried marjoram
dash onion powder
pepper to taste
2 Tbs. dried breadcrumbs

Blend together soup, milk, marjoram, onion powder and pepper. Spoon over
fish in a lightly greased baking dish. Top with dried breadcrumbs. Bake at
350F 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Serves 4

If you're baking because you think it's more "healthy" you might consider
pan-frying it. The amount of oil required for pan-frying is negligable - we
aren't talking battered and deep fried or greasy.

If you can get it in your area and don't mind lightly spicy, Zatarain's Fish
Fry seasoning is great. It's very light coating and has a nice zing! to it.
Can be used for other stuff, too.

How about some different breading? Try to mix it with Coconut, Peanut
oder Almond 🙂

I don't eat fish, and thus have never tasted it, but I tried this on a
lark and found people requesting it (however, it is broiled, not baked):
Monkfish tail marinated in half soy sauce and half balsamic vinegar for
at least an hour, drained, broiled with a slip of butter on each side.
Takes just minutes to cook, but keep an eye on it.

For a filet i like to slice a bunch of muhrooms thin and cover the fish
with them, place in the oven at a low temp, 250 -300 F and let the water
from the muhrooms poach the fish. Then make a sauce with the mushrooms.

Otherwise i would probly only bake a whole fish. And even then more
likely braise or cook au gratin.

Tilapia, melted butter, lemon juice, s&p and tarragon in a buttered
casserole type dish, not too deep. Into the oven at 350. Check in 10
minutes and every 5 minutes after until it flakes easily with fork.
Do not overcook. Simple, easy and delicious.

Okay, OTOH, I sauteed tilapia tonight with olive oil, a little butter, lemon
and garlic and used it in a taco. Corn tortillas (fried and shaped by
hand), home made salsa; cabbage; cheese; mixture of sour cream & hot sauce &
lime juice, and I lapped it all up. Fish tacos are divine! I'm gonna post
finished pix on ABF, if anyone's interested. One taco shell is a little
dark. So sue me.

Squeeze a half a lemon, sprinkle with salt and pepper, include about 1/2
stick of butter, wrap tightly in foil and bake. It jes don't git no bettah
than that.
