Description:

Indulge in the delightful flavors of Baked Fish with a Cheese and Tarragon Crust! This recipe combines the freshness of fish with the richness of cheese and the aromatic essence of tarragon. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for a family-friendly meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons chopped tarragon
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped parsley
• 2 pieces of fish fillets (of your choice)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot for baking.

2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Lightly oil a baking sheet to prevent the fish from sticking during baking.

3. Prepare Sour Cream Mixture: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped tarragon, finely chopped green onion, minced garlic, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

4. Prepare Bread Crumb Mixture: In another bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, grated Swiss cheese, and chopped parsley. This mixture will add a delightful crunch and cheesy goodness to your fish.

5. Coat Fish: Dip each fish fillet into the sour cream mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides. Then, roll the fish in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the fish.

6. Bake Fish: Place the coated fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve: Once baked, remove the fish from the oven and serve immediately while hot. Pair it with your favorite sides like steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

8. Enjoy: Gather around the table with your loved ones and savor the delicious flavors of this Baked Fish with a Cheese and Tarragon Crust. Bon appétit!
