Recipe: Creamy Fish Bake

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories without sacrificing flavor.

white fish fillets

🥗Healthier: salmon

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is a budget-friendly alternative with a similar texture.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Remove the cap Whiting steaks from the plastic wrapping and place them directly into the oven tray without greasing the pan.

In a bowl, combine 2 packets of Knorr creamy cheese sauce with 2 cups of milk and whisk together until mixed (some lumps are okay).

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and sprinkle them over the fish.

Season the fish with a little salt and black pepper, being cautious with the salt due to the sauce's salt content.

Clean the spring onions and cut them into four pieces, then sprinkle them over the fish.

Pour the cheese sauce mixture over the fish, allowing it to sit in the sauce.

Sprinkle 1 cup of grated mature cheddar cheese on top of the sauce.

Add a handful of breadcrumbs on top of the cheese for crispiness.

Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for about 25 minutes.

After 25 minutes, check the dish; if it’s not golden brown, finish it under the grill for about 5 minutes until golden.

Garnish with a few cherry tomatoes and chopped spring onions before serving.
