- 1/5 bell pepper (use different colors for visual appeal)
Sauce Ingredients- 1 Tbsp cream cheese
- 1/2 lemon

- 2 pinches cumin powder
- 1 Tbsp cream cheese
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 pinches garlic powder (or minced garlic)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Any type of frozen fish cutlet will work well. Using your favorite or a brand you usually enjoy will make this steak dish even more satisfying.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Preheating the oven is a crucial step for achieving perfectly crispy and delicious fish cutlets.
Step 3
Wash and prepare the vegetables that will accompany the fish cutlets. Fresh vegetables will add a richer flavor and texture to your steak.
Step 4
Place the frozen fish cutlets in the preheated oven and bake for the time recommended on the product packaging. This typically takes about 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Finely chop the vegetables that will be incorporated into the sauce. The smaller the pieces, the better the sauce’s flavor will infuse into the vegetables.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare a delicious sauce to enhance the flavor of your fish steak. Start by adding 1 tablespoon of cream cheese to a bowl.
Step 7
Cut the lemon in half. Make small incisions in the peel to help release more juice. This method effectively infuses the sauce with the lemon’s bright aroma and taste.
Step 8
Squeeze the halved lemon firmly to extract the fresh juice into the prepared bowl. The zesty lemon juice will cut through the richness of the cream cheese, adding a refreshing tang.
Step 9
Add 2 pinches of garlic powder (or finely minced garlic) to neutralize any fishiness and add depth, along with 2 pinches of cumin powder for an exotic aroma. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking.
Step 10
Add all the finely chopped vegetables – onion, carrot, and bell pepper – to the sauce bowl. The variety of colors will make the dish visually appealing and enhance its overall flavor.
Step 11
Mix all the ingredients in the bowl thoroughly with a spoon or fork until well combined. Once the ingredients are smoothly incorporated, your delicious sauce is ready. Set it aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 12
The fish cutlets, having baked for 20 minutes, will be very hot. Be sure to wear oven mitts and carefully remove them from the oven. They should look wonderfully golden and crispy!
Step 13
Carefully transfer the warm, crispy fish cutlets to a serving plate. This is an important step to present your main dish beautifully.
Step 14
Finally, artfully spoon the fragrant and zesty sauce over the baked fish cutlets. Your elegant fish steak, ready to be enjoyed at home, is now complete! Serve immediately while warm.
