Stuffed Fish Fillet
Yield: Makes 4 stuffed cod fillets
Ingredients:
- 4 cod fillets, about 600 g (or tilapia fillets)
- 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 125 g cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 slices lemon
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 380 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.
Mix together the cream cheese, garlic, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Pat dry the fish fillets. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the cream cheese stuffing in the middle of each fish fillet.
Roll up from the small end (use a toothpick to hold together if necessary).
Place the stuffed fish fillets seam-side down in the baking dish. Brush with olive oil and place a slice of lemon on top of each one.
Bake until fish flakes with a fork, about 30 minutes.
