Baked Bluefish au Paprika
Boneless bluefish baked with paprika butter and white wine.
Method
Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a three-pound boneless piece of very fresh bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix. Trim neatly, check for remaining bones and pat dry. Season the fish with the teaspoon of salt.
Step 2
Mix the half ounce of butter with the teaspoon of paprika and rub the mixture briskly over the fish. Lightly butter a baking tin large enough for the whole piece, place the fish in it and pour the half gill of white wine into the tin.
Step 3
Bake for about thirty minutes, continuing as needed until the thickest flesh reaches 145°F and is opaque and flakes easily, checked with a clean thermometer.
Step 4
Lift the whole fish piece onto a large hot serving dish and pour the actual pan juices over it. Decorate with six lemon quarters and parsley greens and serve immediately.
