Ingredients
To create a delicious baked fish with mayo, you’ll need the following key ingredients:
- Fish filets: Choose mild white fish like haddock, basa, or tilapia, about 1/2 inch thick
- Mayonnaise: The star ingredient that keeps your fish moist and flavorful
- Seasonings: A mix of dry mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika
- Herbs: Dill weed adds a fresh, aromatic touch
- Spices: A dash of cayenne for a subtle kick
- Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated for extra flavor and texture
- Panko breadcrumbs: For a crispy topping (optional)
- Olive oil: A small amount to moisten the breadcrumbs if using
These ingredients work together to create a flavorful coating for your mayo baked fish. The mayonnaise acts as a base, while the seasonings and herbs infuse the dish with delicious flavors. The cheese and breadcrumbs (if used) add a satisfying crunch to the exterior.
Remember, you can adjust the quantities and types of seasonings to suit your taste preferences. This vers.
Instructions
Step 1: Thaw your fish filets overnight in the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 3: Season the fish filets with your favorite fish rub or seasoning blend, allowing them to come to room temperature.
Step 4: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder to create the mayo mixture for your baked fish.
Step 5: Use a rubber spatula to spread an even layer of the mayo mixture over each fish filet.
Step 6: Carefully transfer the coated fish to a baking dish, ensuring they’re in a single layer.
Step 7: Sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper over the mayo-coated fish for added flavor.
Step 8: Bake the fish in the upper half of the oven for about 12 minutes, or until it starts to feel firm when pressed with a fork.
Step 9: Switch your oven to broil and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to brown the mayo topping.
Step 10: Remove the baked fish with mayo from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 11: If there’s any excess liquid in the dish, gently blot it with a paper towel before serving your delicious mayo baked fish.
