Provided by GreenChile

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 flounder fillets or 5 cod fish fillets
salt & pepper, to taste
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place foil on a cookie sheet. Place fish on the foil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Top with pesto, tomatoes and then cheese (in order).
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.
  • *Note: I don't care for pesto except in this recipe. To prevent wasting the rest of the pesto in the jar, I make one recipe for dinner and freeze the ingredients to have another day. Just place each of the ingredients (except salt & pepper) in its own quart-size freezer bag, then place all in a gallon-size freezer bag along with directions and freeze. When ready to make, just thaw completely and follow the above directions to prepare.
