Baked Whitefish


So many people are afraid to cook fish. And it's one of the most hassle free, stress-less dishes I can think of! Fish stands on it's own and doesn't require marinades or complicated cooking techniques to keep in flavor. When I buy fresh white fish (like haddock, cod, or sole) I simply lay it out in a pan and top with some cracked pepper, seasoned bread crumbs, and a few small bits of butter. Then squeeze over it the juice of one fresh lemon, and bake at 350 for approx 20 minutes (longer for very thick fillets). It is no-fuss, no-fail, and awfully hard to mess up.
