Recipe: Delicious Baked Fish

This is one of the easiest, tastiest ways I've found to cook fish, and many of my friends agree. It is delicious on salmon or halibut, and I think it would be good for any firm-ish textured fish. Don't be put off by the mayo... it morphs into something completely different.... and amazingly delicious.

Here's what you need for four servings (four palm-sized fillets of fish):
1/2 cup mayonnaise
A couple pinches fresh herbs (thyme and dill are yummy, but I bet basil would also be good!) If you don't have fresh herbs, dried are fine.
1 sizable garlic clove, finely minced
2 to 3 tsp good quality balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp black pepper, to taste
1 Lemon, thinly sliced
Good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Here's all you need to do:
Preheat the oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit. Then,

1) Scoop the mayonnaise into a bowl
2) Stir in the herbs and garlic (if using fresh herbs, take out the stalks first, and tear into small pieces)
3) Stir in the vinegar and pepper, to taste
4) Lay some tin foil on a baking sheet, and arrange lemon slices so that two will fit underneath each slice of fish. Drizzle a little olive oil on the lemon slices.
5) Place fish on the lemons.
6) With a butter knife, spread the mayonnaise mixture on each fillet. Liberally cover the top and the sides of the fish. Crack a little extra black pepper on top of each fillet, if desired.
7) Cook for 15-20 minutes, until fish is cooked through and the topping is starting to bubble and brown.

Enjoy! This is great served with steamed broccoli seasoned with some lemon juice.
