How to Make Baked Fish With Sour Cream Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If using frozen fish, thaw completely and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Lightly season 2 (6-ounce) fish fillets (hake, cod, or tilapia work well) with salt and pepper. Arrange in a greased oven-safe dish.
  4. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup crushed potato crisps (or crushed crackers), 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Mix well.
  5. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with extra chopped chives before serving. Serve immediately on a fish-shaped platter for an extra special presentation!
