I like fish whether they are broiled, grilled, fried or sautéed with anything. But of course, fresh broiled fish with almost no sauce and dressing are the best things in life. This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare, but it was elegant and exceptionally delicious.

This recipe is adapted from Gourmet.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

4 fillets pollack, cod, or other white fish

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon minced shallots

1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste, or 2 fillets, minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Procedure:

- Preheat the broiler. Lay the fillets on a pan and coat with a bit of olive oil on both sides. Lay them skin-side down in a row.

- In the meantime, mix together the remaining ingredients. Spread the resulting sauce over the fish.

- Broil the fish until just cooked through, depending on thickness, 5-7 inches from the heat, between 3 and 7 minutes.

I usually love eating fish with rice since it kinda balances the sometimes blandness of the fish. But since this recipe is so tasty, I decided a nice salad or boiled vegetables are just right as a side dish.
