How to Make Baked Whitefish
- Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of dry white wine in a heavy pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened. Do not brown.
- Spread the sauteed onion evenly over the bottom of a shallow baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
- Arrange 4 (6-ounce) whitefish fillets (cod or halibut) over the onions, slightly overlapping the thinner edges.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with 2 cloves of minced garlic.
- Pour 1/3 cup of dry white wine over the fish.
- Add 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream (or milk) and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes.
- Remove the foil. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs evenly over the fish.
- Distribute 1/2 pound cooked shrimp evenly over the cheese and breadcrumb topping.
- Bake, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
