How to Make Mediterranean Fish Casserole

  1. **Prepare the Fish:** If your fish fillets (about 1 lb) are large, cut them in half lengthwise to create more manageable portions.
  2. **Season and Roll:** Drizzle the fish fillets (about 1 lb) with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper. Spread 2 ounces of softened cream cheese evenly onto the outer, shiny side of each fillet.
  3. **Roll and Secure:** Gently roll up each fillet. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Season the rolled fish with salt and pepper.
  4. **Prepare the Vegetables:** In a buttered heatproof casserole dish (approximately 9x13 inches), arrange 8 ounces of quartered cremini mushrooms.
  5. **Layer the Tomatoes:** Top the mushrooms with 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes.
  6. **Add Herbs:** Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil over the tomatoes and mushrooms.
  7. **Assemble the Casserole:** Arrange the rolled fish fillets on top of the tomato and mushroom mixture. If using, insert cooked shrimp (about 4-6 ounces, peeled and deveined) between the fish rolls.
  8. **Make the Provençal Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  9. **Top and Bake:** Spread the Provençal topping evenly over the fish. Drizzle with an additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil or sprinkle with butter flakes.
  10. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (430°F) for 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
  11. **Serve:** Serve immediately with buttered boiled potatoes sprinkled with fresh chives.
