How to Make Baked Fish With Mushrooms And Cream

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of cognac (or dry sherry) and simmer until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves.
  6. Simmer until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a separate heavy large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  8. Season two 6-ounce fish fillets (cod, halibut, or your favorite white fish) with salt and pepper.
  9. Add the fish to the skillet and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook!
  10. Transfer the cooked fish to a broiler-safe baking dish.
  11. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce evenly over the fish.
  12. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Gruyere cheese (or Parmesan) over the sauce.
  13. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
