Fish in cream in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake fish in cream in the oven? Prepare the necessary products. Any fish will do: fillet or steak. Chilled fish is preferable - it is much healthier than frozen fish. If you only have frozen fish, be sure to defrost it properly. Immediately after freezing, place the fish in the refrigerator for 8-10 hours and only then completely defrost it at room temperature. Use cream of any fat content, but 23% is tastier.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the fish and dry it. If necessary, remove fins and bones. If you have a fish steak, you can cut it in half. If you have fish fillet, cut it into medium-sized pieces. It is better to leave the skin on the fish fillet - otherwise the pieces will not hold their shape and will turn into mush when baked.

3. STEP 3

   

   To bake the dish, we need a heat-resistant pan with medium-sized sides. Place the fish in the mold. If you have fillet pieces on the skin, then place them skin side down. At this stage, you can add some of your favorite seasonings to the fish: perhaps ground pepper will be enough for you, or you may want to sprinkle the fish with dried Provencal herbs or thyme.

4. STEP 4

   

   Salt the cream a little. You can use cream and a lower fat content, or even milk.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add chopped garlic clove to the cream. I put it through a press, but you can grate it or put it through a press. If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can easily replace it with garlic powder - add half a teaspoon.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate the cheese and add to the cream. The cheese can be absolutely anything: hard, semi-hard, mozzarella and blue cheese are also suitable.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the cream sauce over the fish. You can add a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary, or any other fresh herb, for flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. You can cover the pan with foil for the first 15 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   The fish is tender and juicy, serve hot right away. Bon appetit!
