Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 (4 ounce) red snapper fillets (or any firm fleshed fish such as tilapia or cod)
1/2 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter
6 ounces green chili sauce (just buy it canned)
3 ounces diced green chilies (just buy it canned)
1 lb monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend (grated)
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves (garnish)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Coat fillets with flour seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat butter in skillet and lightly sautee fillets in butter til done and flaky.
  • Transfer fillets into individual casserole dishes or small oven proof bowls.
  • Divide sauce and chilis among them evenly and then sprinkle cheese over each evenly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes till cheese is nice and melted.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.
  • Note:Sometimes I put a layer of mexican rice (try recipe #117892) or orzo flavored with some cumin in the bottom of the bowl before assembling. A one dish meal and you have only one barely dirty skillet to clean!
  • Note:Sometimes I make this just for myself. Fry fish-pour a little sauce-add a TBS of chilis- sprinkle some cheese. It's not brain surgery or rocket science. Save what's left in the cans for another use like adding to scrambled eggs. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I have for many years.
