Everytime I make this I say I have to post this, but never seem to get to it, so here goes.....
I love fish but get tired of frying it, and I came up with this cheater recipe. It's ready in 10 minutes, and it will fool any goumet out there......
Thaw out your fish fillets if frozen and pat dry. (any type will work, I've used cod, haddock, sole, seabass, salmon, whatever)
In a large pan with a tight cover saute a clove of chopped/pressed garlic in butter till it's golden brown, toss in a can of Campbell's mushroom soup, a half a can of 18% coffee cream, and some spices that appeal to you.(I use dill weed, basil,white pepper) You can add a can of drained sliced mushrooms if you like, it makes it over the top. No salt, there's enough in the soup. Simmer that together till it's boiling, slide in the fillets, make sure they are covered with the sauce, and cover. Cook on low-med heat for about 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes with a fork. Done. Serve in a lasagna boat, with fresh chopped parsley on top (add some to the pan at the end of cooking also if you want)
....or do it like I do and eat it cowboy style, right out of the pan!:D
Remember fish takes 10 minutes per inch of thickness to cook regardless of the method. So thin sole takes only 5 minutes. Overcook it and it will get dried out!
