• Spread over fish.

• Squeeze lemon juice over casserole before serving and serve with additional lemon wedges.
• Note 1: Put tomatoes in a bowl and blanch with boiling water. After a minute or so the skins will slip right off.
• Note 2: For fillets, I like to overlap them slightly so that the thin parts are not over cooked. For steaks, use a pan that will be nicely filled by one layer of fish.
• Note 3: If using frozen fish, I prefer to use it unthawed and just lengthen the cooking time a few minutes. Makes a quick family supper dish when time is short and nothing is thawed.
• I like this with a green vegetable and white rice.
