Ingredients for Baked Fish With Mushroom Wine Sauce

  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Salt

How to Make Baked Fish With Mushroom Wine Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of margarine over medium heat until bubbly.
  3. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  4. Place two 6-ounce fillets of cod or orange roughy in a 1-quart casserole dish.
  5. Top the fish with the mushroom mixture, 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions, and 1 tablespoon of dry vermouth.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. If desired, garnish with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
