As the name suggests, it is a baked fish that can be rustled very quickly. If you are looking at a fish dish for a busy work day or for a weekend when you don’t want to spend too much time cooking, this is the recipe that works best. Nothing can go wrong with a baked fish that is all jazzed up with cheese and cooked well. Add some lemon slices if you like the tartness in your seafood. The cheese and the acidity of lemon balance out the whole dish well.
Baked Fish taste great when they are served hot. Pack them in insulated lunch kit or lunch box so you can eat it warm after a few hours.
