Wenresepte: Fish in sour cream

Let's be honest:  this is not the most attractive dish you'll ever see.  But if it's cheap, tasty fish dish you're after, you can't go far wrong with this recipe.  I served mine with some jazzed up rice (sweat an onion in a little butter until soft, mix in fresh corn and peas, cook for a few minutes and stir through cooked rice).  I often add vegetables to starches like rice and couscous.  Not only does it add some important nutrients to the dish, it also makes a somewhat boring element on the plate interesting and colourful.

Serves 4 (although my husband I finished the whole lot between the two of us...)

 

You will need:

 

800 g of sustainable white fish fillets

milk

salt and freshly ground black pepper

fresh bread crumbs

250 ml sour cream

1 tomato, sliced (I used a couple of cherry tomatoes sliced in half)

150 ml cheddar cheese, grated

freshly chopped parsley (to garnish)

 

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius.  Grease a medium-sized ovenproof dish with butter or spray with cooking spray.  Dip the fish fillets into the milk and light season with salt and pepper.  Role the fish in the breadcrumbs and place in the prepared dish.  Pour the sour cream over the fish.  Add the tomato slices, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle the cheese over the top.  Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the cheese has melted.  Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
