CORNBREAD-COATED FISH


ingredients

1 lb. fresh or frozen fish fillets
2 Tbsp. buttermilk or plain low-fat yogurt
1 Tbsp. margarine
1/2 c. corn bread stuffing mix, crushed
1/8 tsp. salt
dash to 1/8 tsp. ground red pepper

preparation

Thaw fish if frozen. Turn under any thin edges of fish. In a 12 x 7 1/2 x 2-inch baking dish (use an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish for low-wattage ovens), arrange thicker portions of fish fillets toward outer edges of the dish. Brush fish with buttermilk or yogurt. In a small mixing bowl, cook margarine on 100% power (High) about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in stuffing mix, salt and red pepper. Spoon stuffing mixture over fish fillets. Cook fish, uncovered, on High for 4 to 7 minutes (7 to 9 minutes for low-wattage ovens) or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Give the dish a half-turn after 3 minutes. Serves 4.
