Baked Fish Fillet In Butter Lemon Sauce

Sometimes (actually most of the time), laziness overcomes us and it becomes very challenging to think about what to cook for dinner. It's tempting to simply call the local fast food to have food delivered. Or just open a can of spam or corned beef from the pantry. 

Still, nothing beats a good home-cooked meal. Don't worry. There are super easy recipes that will only take a few minutes of your time. Try out this easy recipe for fish fillet baked in butter lemon sauce.

Here's what you need: 

Fish Filets (you can purchase frozen fillets from the grocery)

4 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

4 tsp fresh parsley

salt and pepper

Basil leaves or Parsley

Here's how to do it: 
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Season fish with salt and pepper
3. In a separate pan, melt butter. Saute garlic for about a minute.
4. Add lemon juice, and remove from fire.
5. Place fish in baking tray.
6. Pour butter sauce on fish.
7. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until desired cooking level is achieved.
8. Top with chopped basil or parsley (for additional flavor and presentation).

Some of you may be intimidated by your oven. I used to feel that way. It took me years before I found the courage to turn on my oven for the first time. Boy, was I missing out on a lot of things. So if you haven't experimented with your oven yet, take my advice and "take the leap." Turn on your oven, and brace yourself for a world of possibilities.

Dampa Style Prawns

Prawns are probably my favorite of all seafoods, and it helps that they are so easy to cook! The trick? Don't leave them on the pan for too long. Overcooking them would ruin the flavor as well as the texture. Just give them enough time to turn a nice, bright orange and you should be all set. You should also take into consideration that your food continues to "cook" for a few more minutes after getting it away from fire.

My friends and I love going to dampa. Any dampa, but preferably the one in Ortigas (the one in the south is way too far for us). As you may have guessed, the butter garlic prawns dish is one of our staples. I just had to replicate it so I can enjoy the dish at home anytime I want.

Here are the ingredients:

1/2 kg Prawns (or shrimps)

lots of garlic

500 ml Royal Tru Orange (orange soda)

3/4 cup butter (you can use margarine for a more "authentic" taste)

1 tbsp oyster sauce

salt and pepper

baking soda

And here's what you need to do:

1. Marinate your prawns in orange soda (Royal Tru Orange) for about 30 minutes to an hour.

2. In a pan, melt your butter. Saute the garlic. Use a generous amount, depending on your personal taste.

3. Add your prawns as well as the soda you used in marinating.

4. Season with oyster sauce.

5. Add enough baking soda to improve the sauce consistency.

6. Season with salt and pepper.

You can adjust the amount of soda and butter depending on how much sauce you want. Some people also prefer to have the prawns shelled, so you can do this prior to cooking.
