Scrod Under Horseradish Meringue
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup freshly grated horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 scrod fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- Put the yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth and set aside for 3 hours to drain.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Coat a baking dish, large enough to hold the fillets in one layer, with the butter.
- In a bowl combine the yogurt, horseradish and salt.
- Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, add the sugar and continue to beat until they form stiff peaks.
- Carefully fold in the seasoned yogurt.
- Lay the fillets in the baking dish and cover each with a quarter of the meringue.
- Bake until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Remove the fillets to individual plates and sprinkle with the dill.
