Easy Baked Whitefish Ole'

"I got this recipe off a package of frozen whitefish, and it was a lifesaver when I was drawing a mental block on what to cook one night. I added some black pepper to this, and I served the fish with rice, some corn, and a salad. Although this serves four, we can easily eat this all between the two of us."

  1. Have been making this for a long time but use haddock because we can buy it very fresh here. I agree with another reviewer that less oil can be used but I don t like anything oily. I do add some chopped black Olives (because my husband loves them) and sometimes add shredded Monterey Jack cheese at the end and put under the broiler. Very versatile little recipe always alwayis tasty. Thanks and do recommend it.
     
  2. SUPER easy and tasty enough. I find salsa to be a very quick, simple solution to cooking easy chicken thighs, too. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Sorry this was just ok, we found it had too much oil. We did like the salsa and lime with the fish and when I make it again I will just spray the fish with veggie spray. Thanks for posting I will make it again.
     
  4. I thought this was just okay. A little oily and just tasting like salsa. I added some cilantro which helped. I think I would maybe sprinkle the fish with cumin in addition to the salt and pepper I used. The leftovers were awesome for fish tacos though!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
