These fillets are bursting with fresh vegetables. "I discovered this memorable recipe 40 years ago in college," relates Mildred Doucette from Sun City West, Arizona. "It's remained a staple at our house."

Ingredients

  • 2 small carrots, shredded
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 4 slices bread, cubed
  • 3/4 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1/2 small cucumber, chopped
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 sole or orange roughy fillets (4 ounces)
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 8 lemon wedges

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute carrots and onion in 3 tablespoons of butter until tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in bread cubes, tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumber, 1 teaspoon salt, dill and pepper.
  2. Place four fillets in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top each with 1 cup stuffing and another fillet. Sprinkle with paprika and remaining salt. Dot with remaining butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Cut in half; serve with lemon.
