Recipe: My No-Work Best Baked Fish With Crumb Topping Is Simple, Quick and So Delicious!

You won't believe how simple and low-calorie this baked cod fillet can be with my delicious crumb topping.

Here is a healthy, low-calorie main course that is easy and won’t keep you confined to your kitchen that I love very much.  My recipe will create a delectable, flaky baked fish that is gently coaxed to optimum flavor with olive oil, garlic and fresh, chopped basil and a special Parmesan cheese topping.

I honestly hope that you try my recipe because once you do I am confident that you will make it again and again.  Yep, it is that good!

No-Work Best Baked Fish With Crumb Topping 

2 lbs. of your favorite fish fillet (pollack, cod, sole, flounder, etc.)
3 cloves of finely minced fresh garlic
half of a fresh lemon or 1-1/2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice
salt
pepper
1/4 cup olive oil  
½ teaspoon of paprika


Clean and rinse your fillets.  Pat the fillets dry before arranging in your baking pan.

Drizzle the fillets with olive oil and coat both sides before adding some of the freshly squeezed lemon or bottled lemon juice to each.

Next, sprinkle each fillet with the finely minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika before adding the crumb topping.

Crumb Topping:

1 stack of saltine crackers
olive oil
1/4 cup of fresh, chopped basil
2-1/2 tablespoons Parmesan or Romano cheese (whichever is your favorite)
1/4 red pepper flakes

Roll your crackers out with your rolling pin on a sheet of wax paper to form fine crumbs.

Now mix the ingredients with the exception of the olive oil together and mound on your waiting, unbaked fillets.  Drizzle some olive oil on top of each fillet to keep moist.

Leave your fillets uncovered and bake in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes.  

ENJOY!

Recipe: My Cheesy-Salmon Loaf is Simple and Tasty!

My family eats a lot of fish, especially during Lent. One of our favorite varieties of fish happens to be salmon. The recipe that I have for you today is my delicious Cheesy-Salmon Loaf that is very economical and so simple to make.

You can serve this loaf plain or top it with a white or cheese sauce. I like to alternate. But either way you do it is just as tasty.

I do hope you give my recipe a chance and try it sometime because it is yummy!


My Cheesy-Salmon Loaf

1 can of salmon
1-1/4 cups of grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup of evaporated milk
½ teaspoon of salt
1 cup of coarse, dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
½ cup of finely chopped onion

I always like to take out the bones and skin from the salmon before I combine all the other ingredients together in my mixing bowl. This is just my own preference.

Pack the fish mixture into a greased one-quart loaf pan.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, depending on how your oven is regulated.

ENJOY!

I'm Nuts About This Trick to Get Rid of Fish Odor!

I love to eat fish.  It's low-calorie and easy to prepare.  Yet, there is a down side to cooking fish with the awful odor it leaves behind on hands and throughout your house.  However, I did find an easy way to solve both of those obstacles once and for all. 

Sprinkle some cinnamon on a cookie sheet and bake at 250-degrees for about ten minutes.  You'll be surprised at how quickly that spice will clear the air in your house. 

All you do for your hands is to get some lemon juice, fresh if possible.  Rub some of the juice on your hands and wash again.  The lemon juice will effortlessly remove that foul odor as well.  

No one will even know there was fish cooking in your house if you follow this advice.
