Cooking Fish In The Oven

Fish is one of my family's favorite type of meat, we cook with fish more than twice a week. It's light, healthy, full of vitamins and minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. My daughters enjoy fish meals, especially when served with sour cream and garlic sauce or with my homemade lemon sauce.

We usually like fresh waters fish, like trout, zander or bass, but we cook salmon and other types of fish as well. This method is one of the easiest, for whenever grilling outside is not possible this oven method is healthy, quick and delicious.

We like to make some scores into the surface of the fish so all the good flavors combine. You can do that for either a whole fish or fish fillet.

These days we bought a wild captured zander, one of our favorites, as the meat is very firm, white, the flavor is very delicate and the bones are easy to remove. If zander is not available in your area use this method presented here for any other type of firm fish. It will work as well.
