Baked Fish with Spicy Flavoured Crust

This dish is similar to the Fish Filets à la Bordelaise from Iglo.  I must say that the taste is much better than the store bought ones and it is simple & quick to prepare - definitely a hit among kids!

Ingredients (serves 4):
4 white fish filets, to be washed and pat dry

1 pip garlic, to be peeled and finely crushed or minced
3 tbsp mayonaise

100 g breadcrumbs
3 to 4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp curry powder
juice from one lemon

butter for casserole
olive oil

Method:
Preheat oven to 180° C (fan) or 200° C (conventional).  Lightly grease large casserole tray with butter.

In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, curry powder and lemon juice together to resemble crumbs.  Set aside.

In a small bowl, mix mayonaise and minced (crushed) garlic together to form a paste.  Spread paste on fish filets and arrange in casserole tray.  Sprinkle fish filets with breadcrumb mixture until all is used up.  Sprinkle olive oil over fish filets and bake for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Serve hot with french fries.

Bon Appetit!
