P.J.'s Friday Fish Bake
Oven to 425. Put two pieces of cod in a
pretty baking dish (can be individual serving baking dishes). Make sure
they are thawed, the cooking time will work better that way.
Make Crumbly-topping mix by taking a
small handful of Ritz-type crackers and gently smashing them into crumbs.
Add about 1 Tbs red wine, mix good, then just hang on.....
Remember the cod filets? Good. Next,
take any-where's between a half and a whole stick of butter (yes, but it is
Lent, after all) pop it in the microwave and heat it 'till it's bubbly.
Dribble a small amount of the hot butter into the crumbly-mix and mix.
You want the crumbly-mix to feel barely moist, almost dry. The rest of the
butter (most of it) take and pour over the cod filets. Shake a bit of salt and
pepper on the project. Next, sprinkle some crumbly-mix on top of the filets.
Don't over do this, you still want to be able to see the filets through the
crumbs. You will have extra crumb mix left over, sorry for the wasted
crackers--and wine.
You are ready to pop it in the oven for 20
minutes-take or give. The fish is done when it flakes-away nicely at the
edges.
Enjoy
