Fish fillet rolls with Tomato and Cheese
A delicious and healthy appetizer that your guests will love. It's also easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs tilapia or pangasius fillets
- 8 pcs cherry tomatoes
- 4 pcs lettuce leaves for serving
- 3 oz hard cheese
- 2 tbsp seasoning for fish
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the fish fillets on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and pound lightly with the flat side of a mallet.
- Cut the cheese into thin slices.
- Halve the tomatoes and remove the seeds with a teaspoon.
- Cut the remaining fleshy part of the tomato pulp into large chunks.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Place about half of the fish fillets 2-3 layers (depending on size) on the baking sheet, overlapping.
- Sprinkle with salt, ground black pepper and fish seasoning to taste.
- Place about half of the cheese and chopped tomatoes on top of the fish fillet. Roll the fillet with the cheese and tomatoes into a tight roll.
- Place the roll on a piece of foil and sprinkle with another pinch of fish seasoning if desired.
- Wrap the fish roll tightly in the foil and twist the loose ends.
- Place the foil-wrapped fish rolls with the tomatoes and cheese on a baking sheet, place in a preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- If desired, remove the foil and place the rolls back in the oven for an additional 4-5 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Remove the foil from the cooked fish rolls.
- Decorate the serving plate with lettuce leaves and tomato slices, if desired. Cut the rolls into portioned slices, place on the plate and serve.
Notes
- You can use any seasoning, but it is good if it contains turmeric (as in this case) – it gives the roll an appetizing golden color.
- Alternatively, you can cook the foil rolls in a skillet over medium heat for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes for even browning.
