ROMANIAN BAKED WHITE FISH

Steps:

• to poach to fish, fill a large sauce pan with plenty of water with plenty of salt.
• Drop all the chopped carrots, parsley, 1/3 celery root, 1 green pepper into the water.
• Cook the vegetables ingredients for about 15 minutes, and then add fish to the water.
• continue poaching the fish until veggies are done, and the carrot is very soft.
• Keep about 1 cup of the cooking water, and allow the vegetables to cool.
• Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and place in a large pan (9X13).
• Baste with lemon juice.
• Remove the cooked veggies, chop, and sprinkle over the fish.
• Prepare mushroom sauce: in a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter, and cook the mushrooms until slightly cooked, add mushroom soup powder (or flour) while stirring.
• Gradually add the liquids while whisking constantly, and cook until slightly thickened.
• While stirring add the grated cheese, and the sour cream.
• Remove from heat and add the dill.
• Pour the sauce evenly over the fish.
• Bake in oven at 350 until cheese is melted, and slightly browned, about 20 minutes.

BAKED WHITE FISH

Steps:

• Grease an 8 1/2" X 11" pan. (Or use baking spray.)
• Cover the bottom of the baking dish with the sliced tomatoes.
• Sprinkle with sugar and parsley.
• Arrange fish on top.
• Mix melted butter, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper and flour.
• Spread over fish.
• Bake at 400F for 20 min or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Squeeze lemon juice over casserole before serving and serve with additional lemon wedges.
• Note 1: Put tomatoes in a bowl and blanch with boiling water. After a minute or so the skins will slip right off.
• Note 2: For fillets, I like to overlap them slightly so that the thin parts are not over cooked. For steaks, use a pan that will be nicely filled by one layer of fish.
• Note 3: If using frozen fish, I prefer to use it unthawed and just lengthen the cooking time a few minutes. Makes a quick family supper dish when time is short and nothing is thawed.
• I like this with a green vegetable and white rice.
