Fish fillet à la Bordelaise

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 4 fish fillets, e.g. plaice fillet
• 50 g breadcrumbs
• 30 g Parmesan, grated
• 2 tbsp butter, soft
• 1 onion(s)
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 lemon(s), untreated, juice and zest
• 1 bunch of parsley
• salt and pepper
• Fat for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Wash and pat dry the fish fillet. Place in a well-greased baking dish, drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt. Mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, and butter in a bowl, season with 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, and parsley along with the grated lemon zest (about 1 tablespoon) and knead the mixture well. I also add an egg yolk; this makes the mixture a little smoother (but it’s not necessary!). Spread the herb mixture over the fillets to a thickness of about 0.5 cm – this works best with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan oven) for about 25 minutes (check frequently towards the end of the baking time; baking times may vary depending on the oven), until the mixture is golden brown. Serve with boiled potatoes and hollandaise sauce.
