    COOK FISH: Meanwhile, line a small rimmed baking sheet with foil. Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove fillets from pouch, place flat side down on the prepared baking sheet, and drizzle with marinade from pouch. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Lightly press the back of the spoon into the dollop, and create a swooping motion towards the bottom of the plate, lightly spreading the ricotta into a curve.
