Soft, oven-baked fish coated in a smooth lemon-ginger glaze – a fresh, light dinner full of flavor and ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
4 fillets of white fish (hake, cod, or tilapia)
1 small onion, thinly sliced
Juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
A pinch of sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
For the sauce:
1-inch fresh ginger root, grated
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
1/2 cup light vegetable broth
1/3 cup plain yogurt or light cream
1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave (optional, for a gentle sweetness)
Pinch of salt and pepper
Preparation:
Rinse the fish, pat it dry, and season with salt and pepper.
Place it in a small baking dish lined with parchment paper. Add onion slices and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
Cover loosely with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, until soft and flaky.
While the fish bakes, melt the butter in a small pan. Add garlic and ginger and stir for about a minute until the aroma opens up.
Pour in the broth, lower the heat, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in yogurt (or cream) and maple syrup, season lightly, and cook just until smooth and creamy.
Place the baked fish on a warm plate and spoon the lemon-ginger glaze on top.
Serve hot with rice, quinoa, or lightly steamed greens.
