The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack 4-6 inches from the heat source.
About 3 min
2
Lightly grease a broiler-safe baking sheet and arrange the fish fillets on it in a single layer.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: If using frozen fish, ensure it is fully thawed and patted dry before starting.
3
Tuck any thin edges of the fillets under themselves to promote even cooking.
About 1 min
4
Brush about half of the melted butter over the tops of the fillets, then season with salt and pepper.
About 1 min
5
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the fish for 5 minutes.
About 5 min
6
While the fish is broiling, combine the ketchup, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and prepared mustard in a small bowl.
About 2 min
7
Carefully remove the pan from the oven, flip the fillets with a spatula, and brush with the remaining butter.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: A thin, flexible fish spatula works best to keep the fillets from breaking.
8
Return the pan to the broiler and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
About 7 min
9
Remove the pan from the oven and spread the sauce mixture evenly over each fillet.
About 1 min
10
Top evenly with the shredded cheese.
About 1 min
11
Return to the broiler for 1-2 minutes more, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Watch closely during this step as the cheese and sauce can burn quickly under the broiler.
12
Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute before serving.
