Thyme baked fish a delectable entrée which is great with salads. Serve it with white wine to give the meal a classy vibe. Use any type of fish you desire. Opt for smaller or medium sized ones, because they tend to have softer meat.

Sake Baked Fish

By

Sake baked fish is a light and delicious fish recipe that is easy to prepare. All you have to do is combine the ingredients, place them in foil packets and bake them for a few minutes. I like how the vegetables add subtle flavors to the fish, while the marinade gives it some bite.

 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons sake

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon fresh ginger juice

1 teaspoon salt

650g white fish fillets (dory, flounder, sea bass, cod) cut in 4 equal pieces

4 pieces aluminum foil, cut into squares

1 large carrot peeled and thinly sliced

1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced

1 medium bell pepper, seeds removed and sliced

1 stalk leek, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon oil

1 lemon sliced

 

Preheat the oven at 160C and lightly grease the aluminum foil with oil.

Put the fish in a shallow baking dish. After, combine the sake, ginger juice, soy sauce and salt in a small bowl. Stir until the salt is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the fish and allow it to marinate for 10 minutes. Drain the marinade and reserve it.

Take some carrots, leeks, onions and bell peppers and place them at the center of the foil. Top it with a fish fillet and pour some reserved marinade over it. Bring the ends of the foil together and fold the edges to enclose the fish. Do this for the remaining ingredients.

Transfer the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake them for 15-20 minutes or until the fish easily flakes. You may serve the fish fillets in the foil packets or you may carefully remove them. Discard excess juices if desired. Garnish with lemon slices and serve with vegetables or rice.

Baked Dory with Creamed Spinach

By

It is tasty dish that melts in your mouth. Be careful not to overcook the fish. We want it to be soft and fluffy, not dry. This dish is best eaten with salad or pasta.

I prefer dory fillet because the taste and texture is perfect for me. If you like other types of fish like halibut or tilapia, you can use these as well.

Ingredients:

1 lb Dory fillet

3 packages chopped frozen spinach or canned spinach

1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese

1 container (8 oz.) sour cream

1/2 cup vegetable broth

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 cup grated cheese

Pepper and garlic salt to taste

Preheat oven at 350F.

If you are using frozen spinach, cook it until soft; drain.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine vegetable broth, sour cream and cheese. Mix well until the ingredients blend together. Season it with garlic salt and pepper. Add the spinach. Cook for 3 minutes then set aside.

Wash the fish and dry the excess water using paper towels. Season it with lemon juice, garlic salt and pepper. Place the fillets in a greased baking pan. Top it with the spinach mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake it in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns light brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon rind if desired. Serve warm.
