Mock Fried Fish Recipes

MOCK LOBSTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Place the fish fillets on a non-stick or parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the fillets evenly with the butter mixture and sprinkle the bread crumbs over the tops of each fillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

MOCK FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Boil or steam the potatoes until they are tender, then put them to one side.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F
• Fry the onions in a little of the oil until they have turned a dark, golden brown colour.
• Top and tail the eggplant, slice it in half lengthwise, sprinkle the flesh with oil and place them on a greased baking sheet, flesh sides down. Prick the skin in a few places with a fork.
• Bake the eggplant until the skin starts to shrivel and the flesh is soft (about 20-30 minutes). Scoop out the flesh when it has cooked. Turn the oven down to 350°F
• Mash the potatoes, add the cooked onion, the eggplant flesh, garlic, parsley, season to taste with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and paprika, then mix in sufficient matzo meal to make a firm [but not hard] consistency.
• Wet your hands and shape tablespoonfuls of the mixture into patties. Put the patties on oiled baking sheets and sprinkle each one with a little oil. Bake them in the oven for 30 minutes until they are golden brown.
• Serve them hot or cold with salads and horseradish.

RITZ FITZ (OVEN-FRIED FISH FILLETS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a 9 by 13-inch pan in the oven. While it melts, combine everything else except the fish in a pie pan. Dip the fish around in the melted butter, dip each piece in the crumb mixture, and return it to the baking pan. Bake the fillets for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges, and good luck to you.
