Ingredients
- 500 g (1.1 lb) wolffish steaks (or any firm white fish)
- 1 onion, sliced into half-rings
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/3 lemon, juiced
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1-2 tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
- Season the fish steaks with salt; rub with lemon juice and soy sauce on all sides.
- Layer the onion and carrot in a baking dish; place the fish on top.
- Spread each steak with sour cream and top with tomato slices.
- Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 40 minutes.
Tips
- Pat the fish dry before seasoning so the sour cream topping stays in place and the edges brown nicely.
- Use any firm white fish you like, such as cod or haddock, and add a little extra lemon at the end for brightness. For more ideas on baking fish, visit Serious Eats.
- Serve straight from the dish with rice, potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the savory juices.
