Romanian Baked White Fish Food

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.
