Turkish-Style Baked Fish with White Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6g green tea bbq seasonings
- 1 whole fish (such as sea bream or red snapper), cleaned and gutted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup fish stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley sprigs, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Fish:
- Start by seasoning the whole fish with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Make the White Sauce:
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add Liquids and Simmer:
- Pour in the white wine and fish stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Add Cream and Cheese:
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Combine Fish and Sauce:
- Place the seasoned whole fish in a baking dish. Pour the white sauce over the fish, ensuring it is well coated. Cover the dish with foil.
Bake the Fish:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Transfer the fish to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
