Anne'S Cheese Spread For Fish
A creamy cheese spread with Parmesan and mustard that enhances broiled fish, offering a savory, bubbly topping perfect for seafood lovers seeking a flavorful, easy-to-make dish.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Broil fish until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes per inch for salmon or trout, flipping after 5 minutes.
- Mix mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and prepared mustard to make the topping.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the broiled fish.
- Broil the fish with the topping until it is browned and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the cheese spread for an extra layer of flavor. You can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier option or use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream for a richer taste. If you're short on time, pre-made broiled fish can be used, although fresh is always best.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cheese spread on top of the broiled fish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Fish In Horseradish(Fisk I Pepperrot) for an interesting flavor contrast. Consider adding some crusty bread or a light rice pilaf as a side to complete the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the fish rubbery.
