Simple fish dish
HB-18152 · Hand-built original
A cod fillet bakes under a creamy garlic and herb cheese sauce with spring onion and peas, finished with cherry tomatoes and buttered bread croutons. The small oven dish makes a gentle, comforting fish supper.
Main ingredient: cod
Ingredients
- vegetable oil, for greasing
- 1 oz butter, melted
- 1 slice stale bread, torn into chunks
- 2 oz cream cheese with garlic and herbs
- 1 tsp plain flour
- 4 fl oz milk
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp peas (if frozen, defrost under cold running water and drain)
- 1 fillet white fish (such as cod), skin and bones removed
- 6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
Method
- Heat the oven to 400°F and grease a small ovenproof dish with the vegetable oil so the fish releases easily after baking.
- Toss the torn stale bread chunks through the melted butter in a bowl until the crouton pieces are coated.
- Mix the garlic and herb cream cheese with the plain flour until smooth, then stir in the milk gradually to make the fish sauce, and fold the sliced spring onion and peas through the sauce.
- Lay the white fish fillet in the bottom of the greased dish, spoon the cheese sauce over the fish, and arrange the quartered cherry tomatoes across the top.
- Scatter the buttered bread chunks over the sauced fish and bake the dish for 20 to 25 minutes, until the fish flakes and the crouton topping is crisp.
