Panfish Casserole

If you are lucky enough to have crappie, cusk or perch fillets in your freezer, this recipe is perfect. It is nearly as good for bass, sunfish and any other fish with mild, white flesh.

Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb 454g / 16ozPanfish fillets - skinned
1   Nine-inch pie crust shell
  (the frozen, pre-made variety is fine)
1/4 cup 59mlSliced black olives
1/2 cup 73g / 2.6ozChopped red peppers
1/2 cup 118mlSliced fresh mushrooms
2   Scallions - chopped
4   Eggs (large)
1/4 cup 59mlHalf-and-half cream
3/4 cup 109g / 3.8ozRicotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlLeaf thyme
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlPaprika
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the fillets into pieces approximately 1 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide.

In the bottom of the pie shell, layer the olives and vegetables. Lay the fish pieces evenly over the vegetable mixture.

In a bowl combine the remaining ingredients, mix well and pour the mixture over the fish.

Place casserole on a baking sheet with sides and fill the sheet with 1/4 inch of water. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the casserole comes out clean. Let cool slightly before cutting.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
