Reviews: 198
Ingredients:
Here’s an easy baked casserole.
2 pounds thin white-fleshed fish fillets
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, very
soft, at room temperature
1⁄4 cup chopped chives or the green parts of
scallions (see Note)
1⁄2 teaspoon salt, preferably kosher or coarse grained
sea salt
11 ⁄2 cups dry white wine (do not use dry
vermouth)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
How to make
Baked Buttery Thin White Fleshed Fish Fillets with Wine and Chives
Position the rack in the center of the oven and
preheat the oven to 400°F.
Blot the fillets dry, then spread the soft butter
evenly over both sides. Lay into a 13 × 9-inch
flame-safe roasting or baking pan, overlapping as
need be. Sprinkle the chives evenly over, among,
and even under the fillets. Sprinkle with salt.
Pour the wine over the fillets. Place the dish in
the oven and bake until the fillets are firm to the
touch, until they begin to flake when gently scraped
with a fork at the thinnest parts, about 20 minutes.
Carefully transfer the fillets to individual serving
plates or a large serving platter; tent with aluminum
foil to keep warm.
Set the roasting pan or heat-safe baking pan
over medium heat. (If you’ve used a baking pan
that’s not safe on a burner or over a flame, transfer
its contents to a large skillet.) Bring the cooking
liquid to a simmer, then stir in the lemon juice
and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until reduced to
a glaze, about 5 minutes. Spoon over the fillets.
Note: Scallions are stronger than chives. Compensate
by using a big-flavored white wine like
a Chardonnay
