Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, sole, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Set them aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, followed by the heavy cream, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the dry white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute, then remove the sauce from heat.
Arrange the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the cream sauce evenly over the top, ensuring the fillets are fully covered.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the fish and sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley or dill, if desired, and serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
