Ingredients for Baked Fish Fillets Piquant

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • Fish Fillet
  • Unseasoned Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

How to Make Baked Fish Fillets Piquant

  1. Marinate fish fillets (about 1 lb) in 1/2 cup dry white wine for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
  2. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
  3. Drain marinated fish fillets on paper towels.
  4. Place breadcrumbs (1 cup) on a plate and gently dip both sides of each fillet in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Grease a shallow baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches). Arrange the breaded fish fillets in the prepared dish.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 1/4 cup finely chopped onion. Spread this mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
  7. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup breadcrumbs over the mayonnaise mixture.
  8. Lightly dust the top with paprika (about 1 teaspoon).
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  10. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
