Saute onions, red peppers, garlic first. Set aside while preheating the iron frying pan. Put veggies in pan, top with fish and 'sauce.' Broil. YUM!
Very good for extremely easy preparation. I added some chopped tomato after a few minutes under the broiler, for color and a little sweetness. Needed a few more minutes than recipe called for -- just keep an eye on it. Great weeknight dish.
I made changes, so it's a different recipe. My husband proclaimed it best fish ever.
Oil a baking dish for:
2 1lb bluefish fillets, fresh.
salt
pepper
Mix sauce:
1/4 c lime infused olive oil, [ OO and lime zest would work]
1 T dijon mustard
1T black currant balsamic vinegar [regular BV and brown sugar?]
1 large clove garlic minced
Pour over fish.
Heat oven to 350, bake until done, about 15 minutes. Served with braised leeks and curry roasted eggplant. It was the best fish ever.
If you have a good source for really fresh bluefish, this recipe is perfect as written. No need for soaking in milk, or anything else. Delicious.
Very fast, very tasty. Soaked the fish in milk for 20 min. Will halve the sauce in the future and probably add some lemon.
I only made one change to this delicious recipe. The flavors of the mayo, dijon mustard & thyme really complemented the bluefish. I drizzled 2 -3 tablespoons of lemon juice over the fish at least 10 mins. before starting to cook the fillets. I’m not fond of bluefish but my husband loves it. This recipe eliminates most of the strong oily taste(which is why I’m not a fan of bluefish). Thank you!
