Baked catfish in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake catfish in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Catfish steaks must be thawed first. Do this at room temperature. You should not defrost the fish in hot water, as this will cause it to lose all its juices and become dry. Use a paper towel to blot any excess moisture from the surface of the fish. If you have a whole fish, then you need to gut it, cut off the head and fins and wash it well.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sprinkle the catfish steaks with a little lemon juice and sprinkle with soy sauce. Considering that soy sauce itself is salty, there is no need to add salt. Still, be guided by your taste. Leave the fish to sit for a while.

3. STEP 3

   

   At this time, start preparing the vegetables. Peel the onions and carrots and rinse in cold water. Cut the onion into half rings or a little smaller. Grate the carrots.

4. STEP 4

   

   For baking, take any heat-resistant ceramic, glass or metal dish. I will cook in ceramic. Grease the bottom and sides of the mold with vegetable oil. Place chopped onions on the bottom of the pan and grated carrots on top.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place catfish steaks on a bed of vegetables. You can sprinkle the fish a little with fish spices.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the tomato in half and remove the stem. Cut each half into slices. Place the sliced ​​tomatoes on the surface of the fish, and spread sour cream on top. Place the dish with the fish in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 40 minutes. When baking, use your oven as a guide. If you like a spicy dish, then you can add a little chili pepper along with the tomatoes.

7. STEP 7

   

   During baking, the finished raba will become soft, juicy and slightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the fish to plates.

Catfish is the most tender of fish. Cooking it is like a lottery. But this recipe helped to quickly and easily cope with the task. The author of the recipe went to great lengths: a detailed description of all stages, beautiful real photos. I personally added a stalk of celery to the vegetables, I like its “friendship” with carrots. The fish was marinated only in soy sauce for 3 hours to create a “corset”. I didn’t add any lemon juice, sour cream, or spices during the cooking process. I like the original taste of the combination of fish and vegetables. My steaks for children are 150 grams each, so I kept them in the oven for 15 minutes. All! The light summer dinner turned out to be delicious and tender: the fish did not fall apart, confidently held its shape, but melted on the tongue, leaving the taste of simmered cream. The vegetables added freshness and texture. Served with rice.

It’s so good that I came across this recipe by chance! I quite often bake cod steaks in vegetables and herbs, but I’ve never cooked catfish. Now I have the opportunity to cook it thanks to you! I think it will be delicious. Thank you very much for the recipe. Also you They gave me smart and practical advice about foil for the mold! Washing the mold from fish residues and the smell is disgusting and time-consuming.

Great recipe for making catfish. The fish itself is very tender, but loose. However, it is so tasty that it is impossible not to cook it. Catfish is a fish of the northern seas and therefore is very rich in Omega. Cooking in the oven, in my opinion, is the ideal way to preserve the steak intact, and spices, vegetables and herbs greatly improve the taste and smell of this wonderful fish. Thanks for the tip.
