Baked Fish with Lemon Cream Sauce (One Baking Dish!)

Absolutely delicious flavor and easy to make! It’s a new favorite! I used cod as the fish and it was flakey and moist.

Easy to make, but we weren't a fan of the lemon sauce. Used Pollock, maybe that was the problem?

Marinate eerste

So good! I didn’t have shallot so I used lemon slices instead use them and put them in the blank spaces around the fish. We had it with spinach and rice. I halted the sauce for 2 filets it was so good !! Ended up needing to cook for about 20 min we used tilapia Ingredients ▢ 4 x 150- 180g / 5 – 6 oz fish fillets , about 1.5cm / 1/2″ thick, skinless and boneless (Note 1) ▢ 50g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter ▢ 1/4 cup cream, heavy / thickened (See Note 2 for sub options) ▢ 1 – 2 garlic cloves , minced ▢ 1 tbsp Dijon mustard ▢ 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice ▢ Salt & pepper ▢ 1 1/2 tbsp eschallots (French onion) , finely chopped (Note 3) ▢ Fresh parsley and lemon slices , to serve Instructions Preheat oven to 390°F (all oven types). Place fish in a baking dish – ensure the fish isn’t crammed in too snugly. See video or photos in post. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Place butter, cream, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a microwave proof jug or bowl. Microwave in 2 x 30 sec bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Sprinkle fish with shallots, then pour over sauce. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until fish is just cooked. Remove from oven and transfer fish to serving plates. Spoon over sauce, and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges if using.

Not a fan of the sauce

It was so good! I used coconut milk instead of heavy cream and let it sit after taking it out the microwave and it thicken up a little and I used minced garlic as well. I topped it over riced. Nice and tangy.

Really yum and simple! I served it with roasted potatoes and carrots. My brother added habanero salt after serving to his and that made it top tier

Super tart flavor, I made it more rich and creamy by also adding a couple tablespoons of mayonnaise. It toned down the intense lemon taste and added more rich flavor.

Wish I took a photo! It was amazing!

Loved it! Made it without mustard (i didnt have any) and it was still amazing. Very tasty and creamy. I added a small batch of roasted veggies and some rice

Use basa fillets

Very quick and easy dinner. Customizable, exact measurements not really important.

So simple, so tasty.

Definitely a make again!

Really tasty!

So quick and easy. Lovely light dish for lunch or dinner. Served with mashed potatoes and steamed greens. Family favourite.

I loved this. Tasty and cooks beautifully

I added green bellpepper and zucchini.

I make double the amount of sauce and serve with new potatoes and green veg

So easy to make and oh so yummy!

I can't eat this without some add-ons like vegetables. Be it mushrooms, peppers or potatoes. Add all three for best results. The sauce is delicious but prepare a bit more just in case and have back up lemons for when your sauce runs out. Otherwise it's great I loved it

I made the sauce it was very nice.

This was absolutely delicious!!! I did replace the shallots with just white onion but the sauce was wonderful and it cooked the fish very well giving it an amazing flavor. I will definitely be making this one again

Pretty easy recipe, but it's delicious!

One of my all time favorite recipes to cook! When I don't have all of the ingredients I often sub coconut milk (canned) for the cream and coconut oil for butter and It tastes great! I've added green pepper and mushrooms to it as well in the past. Pour over some mashed potatoes or pasta quinoa or rice. So good!

Very delicious I will definitely be make this again. However I suggest to double or triple the amount of sauce you make unless you only want a hint of sauce.

Served with rice

The recipes itself is prob good. We used thawed whiting and we did not like the texture of flavor of the fish. Would try again with better fish

Would make it again for sure! I’m Mexican so I added some habanero sauce and it was AMAZING

Eg brúkti eina heila sitrón til sósina til tvey stór stykkir av flaki - tað var eitt sindur for nógv. Sósin var eisini for tunn. Fiskurin skal ikki hava meira enn uppskriftin sigur. Annars gott

Mi kid clapping at me means it was so good 👍

I think it is better with extra sauce so I will double the sauce recipe next time.

Paired with chips and salad. Really simple and easy. Will definitely make again

Turned out amazing and was delicious! 10/10 definitely reccomend

I enjoyed the dish but the sauce was too thin and watery. If I make it again I will make it on the stove instead of the microwave so I can thicken it.

I used Bassa Fillets

I needed a longer cook time ... Added 14 mins. I used Swai filets and it was very good. Next time I may add capers.

Super easy and really tasty. Not the best plate up and presentation but tasted really good. I also did roast veg with mine and drizzled the sauce over that too.

Absolutely wonderful! Will be going in the repeats

It was delicious and very creamy!

I used 1/2 cup cream and 1 tbs of lemon but otherwise followed the recipe, as I was looking for something my picky eaters would eat. It was a huge hit, thank you for sharing this.

Made for a fussy family and everyone loved it! I used smoked basa and agree with doubling the sauce. My dad described it like ‘fish pie without the pie’ if that helps anyone 😂

Paired with orzo pasta. The family loved it.

Made this for my wife - I don't like fish. She said it's an 8/10 because it was a little bland. She suggested more lemon flavor and possibly some dill.

Super flavorful and very easy to make!

Really good! Next time o have to add a lemon

I ended up cooking it in too large a pan, so most of the cream and butter burned off, but it tastes great!

It was lovely but next time I would cook the onions a bit first as they were still a little raw

I used this to make chicken. Melted the butter first and mixed the ingredients in the pan. Used milk and sour cream since I didn't have any heavy cream. Delicious

I actually cooked this on the stove top instead, as I didn't think the shallots would cook enough in the 10 minutes of oven cook time for the fish to cook. Came out very good. I served it over rice, and I think I would definitely make it again.

I like to use dill in this instead of parsley

Good but a little bland. The sauce doesn't taste quite great enough to justify the extra calories

Leftovers were extra good pan fried! Rounded up on the lemon juice

It's nice but definitely does not produce as much juice as the picture

This is an easy recipe. Unfortunately, I added too much salt. Next time, I will only add the salt to the fish and leave it out of the sauce.

Tried this recipe to mix up the way I traditionally cook fish. Used cod, but halved the fish and doubled the sauce recipe. Was pretty good, though I feel like if it had another texture added (breadcrumbs? Panko?) It would have been much better.

I would make more sauce next time

Not much flavor and sauce came out watery.

Was tasty, forgot the garlic but it was still wonderful.

We used snapper, 3 x the garlic and a whole small container of cooking cream for extra sauce as well as the juice of 1 med size lemon. It was delicious. Will definitely do again.

This was delicious! I made extra sauce to get soaked up by the rice. Huge hit in the family and will keep in my regular rotation.

I Loved this recipe. Fish is healthy so I like cooking it.

I love how easy this is! Make sure and add a spoon of Greek yogurt to mellow out the sauce and thicken it up a bit!

My kid is not a fan of "sauces" she absolutely LOVED this dish!

So easy and fast. Hubby loved it—lots. I added capers and about 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes. Yummy! Add garlic towards the end of cooking or garlic flavor disappears.

Delicious! And so quick and simple. Got raved reviews from the family. I used cod and almost doubled the sauce, otherwise followed the recipe pretty closely. Leftovers were fine reheated the next day.

Absolutely delicious! Very simple but oh so tasty.

Absolutely delicious! Made with tilapia and the sauce was so good that I added it on to some rice as well. Excellent dish and super easy!

Easy to make, but delicious! I thought it was amazing, the little one thought it needed more ketchup 😫😂

Made as written with tilapia. Great flavor and so easy. Served with cauliflower rice.

It's was good. I used Mahi Mahi and I think it was too meaty of a fish, it kind of masked the taste of the sauce. Will use a more delicate fish next time

The mustard adds some tang and tastes great

This was really easy to make and delicious! perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Pan fried blue warehou with cajun to crisp. Sauce prepared separately with coconut milk instead of cream.

Followed everything exactly. Turned out perfectly. Great balance of flavors in the sauce, just enough tang from the Dijon mustard without overpowering the butter.

My husband went nuts over it. Used baramundi as the fish and it was perfect. Used fat free half and half and just increased the mustard a little to thicken. Really fresh tasting. Might add capers next time.

I used Mahi Mahi and it was perfect. I 1/2’d the recipe since it’s only 2 of us

This was delicious, I switched out the fish for chicken. I will be trying again with Tilapia. Highly recommend!

Loved this dish, I added garlic powder, Italian seasoning and a touch of paprika too, and I served it with brown rice!

So good! Did it with evaporated milk! I’ll be making this again. Used kirckland tilapia loins.

Added chives and thyme. Served over brown rice and quinoa. Definitely would try with some flattened chicken as well. Very good, and very quick. 😋

This was a really good recipe, we will make it again!

I used thinly sliced chicken breast instead of fish
