Baked Rockfish Fillets

Superb, no other words for this recipe. However, fish must be freshly filleted at the time. Never use, never use, frozen fish..

My family caught a bunch of rockfish this weekend in the Chesapeake Bay and I was looking for a good recipe for this good, fresh fish. I found the perfect recipe with this one!

I used Jeff Buccellato's idea of sliced lemon underneath the filets and Rick's idea of tomato slices. I happened to have fresh, home-grown tomatoes handy :) so I sliced them and arranged them around the edges of the baking dish.

My husband said the tomatoes were so good after cooking in the sauce with the fish that he could eat a meal of just them! :)

My whole family LOVED this dish, including my 7- and 11-year old daughters! This is the perfect way to enjoy some really excellent fresh rockfish!

We tried this recipe on a whim. Substituted Old Bay for the salt and pepper. It is the easiest and best baked fish recipe we have ever come across. Absolutely delicious !

I wasn't happy with the way I had done rockfish in the past, so I looked for a better idea and found this recipe. I tried this last night and I had the best rockfish ever! This would work well for a dinner when you want to impress and "treat" your guests, but don't want to spend a lot of time and trouble. I might add tomato slices on the fish next time.

This was a lovely, simple recipe that preserves the fresh flavor of the rockfish and doesn't overpower. I cooked it 5 minutes longer (uncovered) than the recipe indicated because I prefer fish a little more done (whiter as opposed to translucent). I would make this recipe again

 Jeff Buccellato (Washington) replies:
* Sliced lemon and placed in dish
* Layered fish fillets on top of lemon to prevent drying
* followed directions after that.
* At 10 minute mark, added more lemon juice
* at mark to pull foil off at 10 min., added more lemon juice and also added sweet peas.
* Followed Sue Ellen's suggestion of baking for an additional 5 minutes (10 min. foil covered, 15 min. uncovered)

Fish was flaky and as desired yet a little tart (probably due to lemon juice)

This was so easy and so good. The parsley is optional but unless you don't like parsley, be sure to use it. For those of you watching your gluten, this is GLUTEN FREE!
