Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds fish fillets, about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick
- 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, or cream of celery soup
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or mild shredded cheese
- 1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
- Heat oven to 400 F.
- Butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.
- Arrange the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the soup with the milk and cook until hot and just simmering, stirring frequently.
- Pour the hot soup mixture over the fish.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the fish.
- Combine the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and toss until they are thoroughly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the casserole.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crumbs are golden brown and the fish is flaky and thoroughly cooked. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets.
