Baked Rock Cod with Mushroom Sauce
from the Better Homes and Gardens Easy Everyday Recipe Library, vol. 8, Fish and Seafood
1 pound fresh rock cod fillets
Lemon-pepper seasoning
1 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
3 green onions, sliced, (1/3 cup)
1 Tablespoon margarine or butter
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into 4 serving-size protions. Place in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Bake, uncovered, in a 450 degree oven until fish flakes easily with a fork (allow 4-6 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness).
Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small saucepan cook the mushrooms and green onions in margarine or butter until tender. Stir together chicken broth, wine and cornstarch; add to mushroom mixture all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for two minutes more. Transfer fish to dinner plates. Spoon sauce over fish. Makes 4 servings.
