The first time I tried this meal-in-one dish, it was an instant hit at our house. Fish and rice are a tasty change of pace from traditional meat-and-potato fare. —Jo Groth, Plainfield, Iowa

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions, divided
  • 1 pound cod fillets
  • Dash paprika
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine broth, rice, Italian seasoning and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Add broccoli, Parmesan cheese and half the onions. Top with fish fillets; sprinkle with paprika.
  2. Cover and bake 20-25 minutes longer or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Uncover; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and remaining onions. Return to oven for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Fish Casserole Tips

What can you serve with fish casserole?

We recommend serving fish casserole alongside a fresh leafy salad, a loaf of homemade bread or a side of cooked vegetables for a delicious, complete meal.

How do you store fish casserole?

Fish casserole can last in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days—simply wrap the top of your 11x7-in. baking dish tightly with foil or plastic wrap. However, if you'd like to freeze your casserole, try cutting it into individual portions and placing it in freezer bags or freezer-safe containers to later thaw for an easy meal.

How can you make fish casserole your own?

Make this fish and rice recipe your own by substituting certain elements, such as the fish or vegetables, with your favorite ingredients. For example, instead of cod, try using sole, haddock or pollock.
