Baked capelin in the oven in breadcrumbs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Rinse defrosted capelin with running water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove head and entrails.

3. STEP 3

   

   Squeeze the juice from half a lemon onto the fish, add salt and pepper and mix well with your hand to evenly distribute the marinade. At the same time, we get rid of the specific fishy smell. Leave in the marinade for 10 - 15 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Roll each fish in breadcrumbs and place on a wire rack./The wire rack should be covered with parchment and lightly greased with vegetable oil so that the fish separates well after baking/.

5. STEP 5

   

   Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for about 20 minutes. Do not overcook the fish, it can easily dry out. Serve capelin with beer as an appetizer or with mashed potatoes as a main course for lunch or dinner. Bon appetit !
