This is a good choice for a no fuss fish dinner when you have been surprised by a family member's catch of the day and don't really know what to do with it. This also works well when buying whichever fish fillets are on sale this week. :) You get to choose the type of fish here - although try to keep to a similar type (small, fairly flat,boned,skinless fillets of white fleshed fish - such as catfish,red snapper, tilapia,roughy, trout, etc). Prep time allows for boning & cleaning the fillets and will be less if you are using fillets from the fish market. Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs fish fillets, de-boned,skinnned,cut into 4 pieces (such as catfish, tilapia, trout, roughy,you choose) |
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, melted,divided |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
paprika, to taste |
1 lemon, juice of |
1 lemon, sliced thinly |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced,plus |
extra fresh parsley, for garnish (optional) |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven broiler according to manufacturer's instructions.
2. Spray a 2-piece broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Brush fish with half of the melted butter.
4. Dust with flour, then sprinkle with some paprika to taste.
5. Broil, 5-6 from the heat source for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is just barely beginning to flake when poked with a fork, but is not quite cooked fully yet.
6. Meanwhile,mix together lemon juice, minced parsley, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 3 Tbsp melted butter and pour over the fish after its 5 minutes are up.
7. Broil another 5 minutes or until fish is fully cooked (fish starts to flake easily)- do not overcook or it will dry out.
8. Serve fish garnished with additional minced parsley, if desired and some lemon slices on the side for guests to squeeze over each serving if desired.
