Garlic & Lemon Ovenbaked Fish
Ingredients
- 60g butter
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 1/2 litre milk
- water as needed
- 1 tsp english mustard
- 3/4 tsp of salt
Preparation
Melt butter in a pan and add the sliced garlic - you want to infuse the butter with the garlic taste not cook it, so keep the flame low
Next add plain flour to create a roux
Add milk gradually to the roux, make sure the milk is absorbed into the flour and butter before adding more
Once all the milk has been added, if the white sauce seems too thick, add some extra water to thin it out some more
Add salt, mustard, the juice of one lemon and chopped parsley to the sauce
Taste to make sure it's seasoned well and adjust if necessary
Place the pieces of white fish in a baking dish or cast iron skillet and pour over the sauce, make sure the fish pieces are coated in the sauce
Cook at gas mark 6 (200°c, 392°f) for 15 - 20 mins until the fish is cooked through
Serve with your favourite sides (my cheesy mash or spiced roast potatoes go so well with this) and enjoy!
