Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Seafood
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 fish fillets (such as salmon or tilapia)
- 1/4 cup jam (such as apricot or peach)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients for the T Jam Fish Dinner. Ensure you have 4 fish fillets, 1/4 cup of jam (apricot or peach), 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon wedges for serving.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the fish fillets.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the jam and soy sauce. Stir well until the jam is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This will be your glaze for the fish.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice sear and prevents the fish from steaming.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable.
- Season the fish fillets generously with salt and pepper. Allow them to cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the fish releases easily from the skillet.
- Once the fish is nicely seared, carefully flip each fillet over using a spatula. Pour the jam and soy sauce mixture over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the fish for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the fish rest for a couple of minutes.
- To serve, place each fish fillet on a plate and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top. Garnish with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
- Enjoy your T Jam Fish Dinner with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice!
Tips
- Choose the right fish: Opt for firm fish like salmon or tilapia that can withstand baking without falling apart.
- Pat fish dry: Always use paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures a beautiful golden sear and prevents steaming.
- Use a high-quality jam: The jam's flavor will be prominent, so select a premium apricot or peach jam for best results.
- Don't overcook: Fish cooks quickly. Watch carefully to prevent drying out - it should flake easily but remain moist.
- Let it rest: Allow the fish to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices and maximize tenderness.
- Experiment with glazes: Try different jam and sauce combinations to create your unique twist on this recipe.
