How to Make Baked Boston Bluefish
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Lightly oil a small-to-medium baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) and set aside.
- Gently open the Boston bluefish fillet. Arrange 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme or dill), and 2 tablespoons chopped celery on top of the flesh. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Carefully close the fish fillet over the herb mixture. Do not tie.
- Place the stuffed bluefish fillet in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
