Baked Cod with Mushrooms

Name: Baked Cod with Mushrooms
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 2 servings.
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

“I created this when I was on a low carb diet,” writes Kim Thomas of Monahans, Texas. “It tastes delicious and is perfect as a light dish.” We think you'll agree! If you're sensitive to spicy foods, use a bit less jalapeno.

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.

I like to try a new recipe at least once a week. I was looking for easy ones made with ingredients I had already. The only ingredient I had to buy for this was the cod fish. I used sweet peppers instead of jalapeno and it was GREAT! My husband and I loved this recipe.
