Baked Fish Fillets With Star Fruit (Carambola) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons softened butter
2 fairly lean fish fillets, about 1/2 pound each, about 1/2 inch thick
salt and white pepper
2 very small star fruit
lime juice

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F
Select a baking dish to hold fillets in a single layer. Spread a little less than half the butter in the dish.
Set fillets on butter. Add salt and pepper.
Cut off star fruit tips. Slice fruit thin; arrange on fish.
Dot with remaining butter.
Taste star fruit; if rather sweet, sprinkle with a healthy dose of lime juice; if tart, a smaller amount.
Bake for about 8 minutes, until fish just becomes opaque in the center. It will continue to bake in the dish, so do not overcook.
Serve at once.
