CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Crispy Baked Fish With Tartar Sauce image

Charming fish shacks and salty sea air aren't a weeknight possibility for most of us, but thankfully, this recipe is. It features a clever technique from recipe developer Molly Kreuger: Creamy tartar sauce is spread on the fish to add flavor, keep the fillets moist during cooking and help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish. (Feel free to use your favorite tartar sauce in place of the one below.) The fish is baked until nearly cooked through, then broiled to toast the breadcrumb topping. The end result is crispy, creamy, tangy and moist, all of which is achieved without having to deal with a big pot of oil. Eat with more tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped pickles (such as cornichons or half sour)
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon, dill or parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire or soy sauce
1 small garlic clove
1 large lemon
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
4 (6-ounce) thick white fish fillets, such as halibut or cod (skin on or off)

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)

OVEN-BAKED FISH STICKS WITH EASY TARTAR SAUCE (KID-FRIENDLY)

Oven-Baked Fish Sticks With Easy Tartar Sauce (Kid-Friendly) image

Although cod is stated in the ingredients this recipe will work good using tilapia or white fish fillets. This will serve about 3 people, but can be easily doubled. The already crushed cornflake crumbs that you purchase in a small box will not work as well for this recipe, the texture is too fine and the fish sticks will not be as crispy, try to use regular cornflakes cereal and grind them in your processor. You can double the tartar sauce recipe if you prefer more sauce, try to make the sauce even up to a day ahead to blend flavors. This is a great recipe for kids of all ages LOL!

Time 45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise (plus 2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (can use more)
salt and pepper
5 cups corn flakes
seasoning salt
pepper
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 lbs cod fish fillets, cut into about 3/4-inch strips (can use talapia or similar fish)

Steps:

Set oven to 475°F (set oven rack to second-lowest position, or the middle rack).
In a bowl mix together the mayo, sweet relish, garlic powder and lemon juice; whisk to blend, and season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Process the cornflakes with a pinch of seasoning salt and black pepper on a processor until coarse crumbs form (leave the crumbs coarse, don't grind them to a fine texture) transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix in lemon peel.
In a small bowl mix together the melted butter with about 2-3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Season the fish with black pepper (and more salt if desired) then brush the fish with the lemon butter to coat on all sides.
Dip the fish into the cornflake mixture coating completely.
Arrange the fish on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Sprinkle with any remaining cornflake mixture.
Bake fish for about 7-10 minutes (depending on the size of the fish strips).
Serve with the sauce.
