How to Make Baked Bluefish

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Rinse two 6-ounce bluefish fillets under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels. Trim away any dark or discolored areas.
  2. Place the fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Generously spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise evenly over the top of each fillet.
  4. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. (A squeeze of lemon is acceptable but measuring ensures consistent results).
  5. Place the baking sheet in the upper third of the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is bubbly, opaque, and lightly browned on top. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
