Step 2:

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon and pour it over the fish slices.

Step 3:

Pour soy sauce over the fish, spreading it over the entire surface of the fish steak. Leave to marinate for a while while you prepare the vegetables. Because soy sauce is quite salty, there is no need to salt the fish.

Step 4:

Peel the onions and cut into thin half rings. To prevent it from irritating the mucous membranes of your eyes, wash the onion and knife with cool water.

Step 5:

Take dense and meaty tomatoes. Wash them, dry them with cardboard towels and cut them into careful, not very thick circles. Do not take soft tomatoes, because when cutting they turn into porridge, which will spoil the appearance of the dish.

Step 6:

Rinse and peel the carrots with a knife or vegetable peeler. Grate it in Korean style. Or cut into narrow strips.

Step 7:

Wash the chili peppers and dry them. Cut it. Because the pepper seeds are the hottest part of it, it is better to remove them, otherwise the taste of the dish will be very hot. Cut as you like. I cut it into thin circles. If you don't like it spicy, don't add this ingredient.

Step 8:

Line any heat-resistant baking dish with food foil. This way you will protect the container from the fishy aroma, and it will be easier to clean it later. Lightly grease with refined vegetable oil.

Step 9:

Place onion half rings in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.

Step 10:

Scatter the carrots on top.

Step 11:

Place the catfish steaks and pour the remaining marinade over them.

Step 12:

Place tomato rings on top.

Step 13:

Place the hot chili pepper at the end (add this component as desired).

Step 14:

Grease the top of the dish with sour cream of any fat content (or simply pour refined olive oil).

Step 15:

In advance (10-15 minutes before cooking), preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the catfish with vegetables for about 30 minutes until done. The finished fish will brown, become soft and juicy. Please remember that baking times and temperatures may vary from those indicated. Everything will depend on your oven.

Step 16:

Rinse fresh herbs (green onions, parsley or dill). Dry with cardboard napkins. Chop finely.

Step 17:

Place the fish and vegetables on plates. Sprinkle chopped herbs on top. Serve hot with or without a side dish. Bon appetit!

Any slice of catfish with vegetables can be wrapped in portioned envelopes made of food foil or parchment and baked. 10 minutes before the end of baking, the envelopes should be opened so that the dish is browned.

How to choose the right catfish? Pay attention to the eyes of the fish; they should not be cloudy. When purchasing frozen steaks, choose ones that won't have a lot of frozen ice on them. Slices of high-quality, unspoiled fish will be smooth, firm and light-colored.

Catfish fillet in the oven

In almost all countries, catfish is considered a delicacy and is valued higher than salmon. But almost all of our compatriots avoid this fish. This is combined with the fear that it will not be possible to prepare this product deliciously. It is often said that this fish is liquid and loose, quickly falling apart into pieces. But this only happens if the cook is not familiar with the technology for making catfish. Even its fillet can be fried so that it remains appetizing-looking. It’s even easier to bake catfish fillets in the oven. This can be created using various recipes, each of them has its own advantages.

Individual manufacturing

The process of baking catfish fillets is neither long nor complicated. Even a novice housewife can successfully cope with the task if she knows and takes into account several fundamental points.

• Catfish is a fairly large fish, so it is usually not sold as whole carcasses. Most often it is sold in the form of steaks, from time to time - in the form of fillets or simply large pieces of the carcass. If you want to cook fillet, but haven’t seen it on sale, you can safely get steaks or large pieces of fish, because cutting them into fillets won’t be too difficult.
• When purchasing catfish, do not hesitate to inspect it closely. If it is covered with a huge layer of ice, the purchase will be unprofitable. From time to time, when defrosting a kilogram of fish, more than a glass of water remains. Because of this, some housewives conclude that the fish is liquid. In fact, the culprit is careless traders who add excess water to the product. It is safest to receive catfish in factory sealed packages; usually, the layer of ice glaze in them does not exceed the norm or exceeds it only slightly. But if you find liquid, snow or pieces of ice in a bag of fish, you should deliberately avoid purchasing it, because the product was probably stored incorrectly and could become dangerous. Repeated defrosting can also have a negative impact on the organoleptic properties of catfish.
• Catfish should be defrosted in natural conditions, without exposing it to sudden temperature changes. It is best to give it the opportunity to thaw in the main chamber of the refrigerator. Trying to speed up the process using a microwave or hot water can result in the fish becoming loose and dry.
• If you need to cut catfish fillets into portions or the smallest pieces for some dish, it is more convenient to do this before the fish has completely thawed.
• If you try to bake catfish fillet without defrosting, it may release a lot of water, which will prevent it from browning. This is not recommended.

Baked catfish can be served with mashed potatoes or baked potatoes, with steamed or baked vegetables, vegetable stew, and also with boiled rice. It is believed that this fish does not mix well with other cereals, including pasta, and side dishes made from them will be a poor choice. Fish baked with potatoes or other vegetables can be served without a side dish.
