Ingredients
Instructions
- Put a single layer of fish in a greased baking dish.
- Combine sour cream, grated onion, white vinegar, salt, celery salt, and cayenne pepper to make the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the fish in the baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of dill or fresh parsley to the sauce. If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt can be a great substitute, providing a similar tanginess. Ensure the fish is fresh for best results; if frozen, thaw completely before baking. This dish is versatile enough to be served with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fish hot from the oven, garnished with fresh herbs for a pop of color. This dish pairs beautifully with a light quinoa salad or roasted asparagus. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For more seafood inspiration, browse more American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
