Ingredients
- 2 pieces fish fillet (cream dory fish fillets or any white, neutral tasting, flaky fish like basa, sole, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise (Note 1)
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (Note 3)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary divided
- ½ slice of a lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
- Wash the (defrosted) fish fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the fillets in a small shallow, baking dish – preferably oval shaped. Pour the olive oil and spread it on the fish. Bake it for 15-20 mins or until fish is flaky. Be careful not to overcook the fish.2 pieces fish fillet (cream dory fish fillets or any white, neutral tasting, flaky fish like basa, sole, etc.), 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- While fish is baking, prepare the parmesan mixture. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, thyme, and half of the rosemary. Mix them together.2/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- When fish is cooked, take out the fish from the oven. If the fish has become watery, scoop out the excess water but try to leave the oil olive. Evenly spread the parmesan mixture on top then sprinkle the remaining half teaspoon of rosemary on top. Return to oven and bake for another 10 mins.
- Once the parmesan mixture has set, broil the fish for another 2-3 minutes to brown the top. Keep the oven door ajar while broiling and watch closely - they easily turn from brown to burnt!
- Squeeze a wedge of lemon on top. Serve hot with the remaining lemon wedges on the side.1/2 slice of a lemon
Notes
(Note 1) Use real, full fat mayonnaise. I use Hellman's brand.
(Note 2) I used Kraft Parmesan Cheese .
