Fish and Sour Cream Bake

INGREDIENTS

  • white fish fillets, 2,5cm thick
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1⁄4 cup sour cream
  • 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1⁄4 cup green onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1⁄4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

METHOD

  1. Cut the fish in half to make 4 servings.
  2. Mix 1 tbsp water and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Brush the mixture on both sides of the fish. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper (Remember, there will be salt and pepper in the sour cream topping).
  3. Arrange the fish in a lightly greased 11 x 7 x 1/2 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  4. While the fish is cooking, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, green onions, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp ground red pepper. Once the fish flakes easily, spoon the sour cream mixture evenly over the fish.
  5. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Bake, uncovered, an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese melts and the sauce is thoroughly heated.
