Tasty Low Fat Recipe

Lately, I've been looking for healthier things too cook for supper that also taste good and are relatively inexpensive. I found this recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, and we tried it for dinner a few nights ago with Brown Minute Rice and one of those Steam Fresh vegetable medleys. It was surprisingly really tasty considering it takes so few ingredients. So, I thought I'd share it:

Baked Fish with Mushrooms (Makes 4 servings)
Ingredients:
-1 lb. fresh or frozen fish (we used frozen Talapia)
-2 tablespoons butter or margarine
-1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (1 8 oz. pkg)
-1/4 cup sliced green onions (2)
-1 tsp. snipped fresh tarragon or thyme, or 1/4 tsp. dried tarragon or thyme, crushed (we used dried thyme)
Directions:
1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 4 sering-size pieces, if necessary. Arrange fish in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish, turning under thin edges. Sprinkle with salt.
2. In a small saucepan melt butter; add mushrooms, green onions, and dried tarragon, if using. Cook over medium heat until mushrooms and green onions are tender. Spoon mushroom mixture over fish; sprinkle with fresh tarragon, if using. Bake, covered in a 450 degree oven for 12 to 18 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
