Weekday Baked Fish With Tomato Sauce and Peppers

As a resident of the landlocked state of Kansas, you’ll not be surprised to find that my skill at fish cookery is a bit lacking. Sure, I can fry up a mean batch of crappie and have successfully mastered that island favorite, ceviche, but that hardly counts since it’s eaten raw. Hence, I am constantly on the lookout for any and all tasty, yet foolproof fish recipes.
This easy fish recipe of Baked Fish with Tomato Sauce and Peppers fits the bill! It doesn’t matter where you live: use any mild white fish available — flounder, haddock, cod, ocean perch, tilapia — they’ll all work just fine. I serve mine with wild rice, chop it up and mix it all together for a down and dirty, quick mid-week Creole-like meal.
