I thought you all might like this recipe. It's fairly quick and the fish comes out moist and delicious. Most importantly you can use just about any mild white-fleshed fish.

Salsa Baked Fish

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes w/jalapenos
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1 can (4 oz) diced chili peppers
6 teaspoons olive oil
6 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 lbs tilapia fillet
3 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Combine all ingredients, except the fish and cheese, in your food processor and puree.

Butter a baking pan large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Pour half the sauce into the baking pan and spread it out. Place the fish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce over the fish.

Bake uncovered until the fish is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and turn the oven to broil. Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbly.

This one's really nice because you can cook the fish longer if necessary and it won't dry out.

If you are going to adjust the servings up, it is easiest to double the salsa than to try to adjust it based on actual servings. The same goes for reducing the recipe. If you are only going to cook 1 pound of fish, don't reduce the salsa.

Enjoy,
