Ingredients

4 Fish steaks or pieces of fillet

2 tablespoons Butter

2 tablespoons Light vegetable oil

Salt to taste

Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 cup Sour cream

Preparation

Fry the fish very briefly in a sizzling mixture of butter and oil for 2 minutes on either side, turning the pieces over once. Season with salt and pepper and arrange in a baking dish. Pour the lemon juice and sour cream over them and bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments:This recipe was for pike or perch and also for salt herring, but white salt-water fish like halibut, haddock, and cod are used today.
