A Delicious White Sauce For Fish Recipe
A mellow baked white fish in a delectable white sauce is calling your name. Some of the best recipes for types of white fish include a light citrus-flavored white sauce. Whether that be a lemon cream sauce or a clear oil-based white sauce for fish, it most likely will have citrus fruit in it. A splash of Patrón Citrónge tops it off nicely.
Baked fish in white sauce is a nice white fish fillet with a light white sauce poured over the fish before it’s baked.
Baked fish in white sauce goes really well, with potatoes, rice, or your favorite steamed vegetable. You are looking for something that will soak up the dreamy white sauce from your baked fish.
This has to be one of the best white fish recipes I have made. The baked fish recipe uses a nice mellow white fish.
For ease, get nice size fresh fish fillets from your local fishmonger or fresh fish grocery. We happened to use cod because that was the best-looking whitefish on the day I made this baked fish. You can use other whitefish, like flounder, halibut, haddock, or sole. They all will bake a nice fish dinner.

The white sauce for the baked fish is simple and easy. Consisting of white wine, seasonings, orange juice, and a splash of Patrón Citrónge. Sound yummy? It is.
Not only delicious but super easy. This baked fish recipe comes together in one pan. There is no messy clean-up.
Using sweet pearl onions works well with all baked fish dishes. Full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, these onions are healthy and sweeter than regular white onions. You can use frozen pearl onion if you have them, but fresh ones are always best.
To easily peel pearl onions, dunk them in boiling water, drain, cut off the end and squirt the little beauty out of the skin. Likewise, you could substitute shallot and scallions.
I have friends who really don’t like mushrooms for one reason or another. If you have a finicky eater who would rather not eat a mushroom, sautee them on the side and serve them separately. They really bring this baked fish to another level.
Serve this dish for company, date night, or fast family dinner night. Whitefish is mellow and sweet to accommodate even the fussiest of eaters. The dish serves beautifully and keeps your time in the kitchen minimal so you can enjoy everyone’s company.
