Ingredients
- 24 ounces white fish (cod, haddock, white fish, or paiche)
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blot excess moisture off of fish with paper towels. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Dredge fish in flour, and shake off excess flour. Place fish filets in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Gently spoon mayonnaise over the fish, spread mayonnaise over the fish evenly. Sprinkle lemon pepper over the mayonnaise. Add about 1/2 cup water to the baking dish. Bake fish for approximately 15 minutes. Then turn the broiler on your oven, and brown the mayonnaise on top of the fish.
Recipe Tips
- Watch the broiler closely. The difference between a golden crust and a burned one is about 60 seconds. Stay near the oven during this step.
- Fish is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and flakes easily when pressed with a fork. Avoid opening the oven repeatedly during the bake, as this extends the cook time and can dry out the fish.
- If your fillets are thicker than about 3/4 inch, add 3 to 5 minutes to the bake time and check for doneness before moving to the broiler.
- Spreading the mayonnaise evenly to the edges of the fillet helps ensure the whole surface crisps uniformly and the outer edges of the fish don't dry out.
