Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the fillets.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine sour cream, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and uniform.
Spoon the sour cream onion mixture over the fish fillets, spreading it evenly to fully coat the tops of the fish.
If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a light, crispy crust.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked fish with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
