The secret to good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/seafood-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/seafood-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seafood recipes<\/a> is to use a fresh product. No matter what kind of fish you buy, stay away from fish with slimy texture, strong odors or any discoloration. If the fish is packaged, it should be tightly wrapped with no space between the fish and wrapping, and no liquid in the package. Frozen fish should be frozen solid; the package should not contain ice crystals or discoloration. From there, this recipe is a breeze!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Baked Fish<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fish fillets:<\/strong> The best type of fish for baking are flaky white fish, such as tilapia, halibut, cod, bass, grouper, haddock, catfish or snapper. White fish doesn&#8217;t always mean that the fish is literally white in color; it is a category of mild-flavored, quick-cooking fish. You can use fresh or frozen fillets. For the best flavor, use fish within a day or two of buying or defrosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Melted butter adds both fat and flavor to the lean fish. You can substitute other types of fat, such as olive oil or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vegan-butter\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vegan-butter\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegan butter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs and spices:<\/strong> Seasoned salt, paprika and pepper make an all-purpose flavor for the fish that will match any side dish. Since white fish is so mild, there&#8217;s plenty of room to play with spices\u2014find some more ideas below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Season the fish<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1991582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Fast-Baked-Fish_TOHVS_9049_BL_04_22_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shoy of placed fish in a greased baking dish; sprinkled with seasoned salt and pepper; drizzled with butter; wooden background;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.

Try fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil or tarragon, paired with a generous squeeze of lemon and olive oil. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sauces-to-spruce-up-dinner\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sauces-to-spruce-up-dinner\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sauces<\/a>, such as chimichurri and pesto, taste delicious spooned over the fish. Curry powder and turmeric take the fish in a fragrant, Indian-inspired direction, while Italian seasoning adds a punch of fresh flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a crunch:<\/strong> Sprinkle bread crumbs (or your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/substitute-for-bread-crumbs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/substitute-for-bread-crumbs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">substitute for bread crumbs<\/a>) over the fish before baking for a quick crispy coating. Chopped nuts, like almonds or walnuts, are tasty, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top with vegetables:<\/strong> You can bake vegetables right in the pan with the fish. Quick-cooking vegetables are best: Think juicy tomatoes (cherry or sliced whole), olives, capers, slim asparagus spears or sliced zucchini.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Baked Fish<\/h2>\n<p>Leftover baked fish should be kept in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container for up to two days. Leftover fish is tasty gently reheated, but it&#8217;s also tasty cold: Consider serving it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-main-dish-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-main-dish-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">main-dish salad<\/a>, sandwich or wrap.<\/p>\n<h2>Baked Fish Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1983088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Fast-Baked-Fish_FT24_9049_JR_0301_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Fast Baked Fish with green vegetable\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can you tell when the fish is finished cooking?<\/h3>\n<p>To test the doneness of baked fish, carefully pierce the thickest portion of the fillet with a fork and twist slightly to see if it flakes. If it does not, cook it a few minutes longer. If it feels so firm or tough that it&#8217;s difficult to flake, then it&#8217;s probably overcooked, which is a common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cooking-fish-properly\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cooking-fish-properly\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mistake when cooking fish<\/a>. Next time, keep a closer eye! Overcooked fish is still fine to eat; just add a bit more sauce (or a quick drizzle of olive oil or mayonnaise) to add moisture.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you flip fish when baking?<\/h3>\n<p>Because white fish is delicate and cooks quickly, flipping isn&#8217;t necessary when baking. When cooking fish in a skillet, you usually do flip the fish, so it cooks evenly.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with baked fish?<\/h3>\n<p>Baked fish pairs well with just about anything! A good template for a full meal is to serve baked fish with just about any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-vegetable-side-dishes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-vegetable-side-dishes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegetable side dishes<\/a>. Think steamed broccoli, green beans or sauteed zucchini.
