Ingredients

5 small fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped onion
3 teaspoons butter, divided
2 cod fillets (4 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon steak seasoning
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, jalapeno and onion in 2 teaspoons butter until tender. Place fillets in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper, steak seasoning and bread crumbs. Top with mushroom mixture. Divide remaining butter and place on each fillet.
Cover and bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5-8 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Yield: 2 servings.

Editor’s Notes: This recipe was tested with McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning. Look for it in the spice aisle.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
