Baked Fish & Lemon Cream Sauce

Baked Fish With Lemon Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 4 x 150-180g fish fillets, about 1.5cm thick, skinless and boneless
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 65 ml heavy cream (thickened)
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp shallots, finely chopped
  • Fresh parsley and lemon wedges, to serve

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 45 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Instructions:

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (for all oven types).
  • Prepare the Fish: Place the fish fillets in a baking dish, ensuring the fish isn't crammed in too snugly. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl or jug, 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.
  • Top the Fish: Sprinkle the fish fillets with finely chopped shallots, then pour the prepared sauce over the fish.
  • Bake the Fish: Bake the fish for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
  • Serve: Remove the fish from the oven, transfer to serving plates, and spoon over the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
