Sturgeon is known for its distinctive characteristics that make it a prized catch for anglers and a delight for food lovers. Its flesh is dense and flaky, with a texture often compared to swordfish or halibut, but with a more delicate and less oily finish. The flavor leans towards a mild sweetness, making it a wonderful addition to a meal using mild seasonings and many cooking methods. Today, we’ll look at baking it.

Prepare your oven to 400 degrees.

Be sure the fish has been scaled and the cartilage area removed to make nice fillets

Prepare your baking dish with olive oil or butter

Place your fillets in the dish and cover them with olive oil or melted butter

Drizzle with lemon juice and herbs of your choice as well as salt and pepper.

Bake for 12-18 minutes. The fish will be done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork

Internal temp should be 140-145 degrees.

Serve immediately.

            Some people like to have soy sauce on the side for added flavor.
