Lemon Cream Oven Baked Cod

  • 4 x 150- 180g / 5 – 6 oz fish fillets , about 1.5cm / 1/2″ thick, skinless and boneless (Note 1)
  • 50g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 1 – 2 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp shallots, finely chopped
  • Fresh parsley and lemon slices , to serve

Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (all oven types).

Place fish in a baking dish – ensure the fish isn’t crammed in too snugly. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper.

Place butter, cream, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a microwave proof jug or bowl. Microwave in 2 x 30 sec bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

Sprinkle fish with shallots, then pour over sauce.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until fish is just cooked. Remove from oven and transfer fish to serving plates. Spoon over sauce, and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges if using.
