put two cooked fish steaks in a bowl, pour on a small amount of hot vegatable soup, put mashed potato on top of that, then finally top with grated chedder cheese warm in oven on gas mark 5 , for about 3 mins, one of Mousies recipies.

Get a pan and melt a nob of butter into it.
Then add a finely diced onion with some finely diced bacon and brown them off.
Add a bit of sweetcorn and finely diced capsicum(pepper).
Cook for another 2 minutes or so.
Then add some double cream to make it in a sauce
Salt/Pepper and spices to taste (I usually add paprika and thyme)

Get a bowl and put some flour (plain or self raising doesn't matter) into it with a pinch of salt, pepper and spices if you like.
Put the fish fillet into the bowl to coat it all over.
Get a frying pan with a couple of nobs of butter in it.
Fry the fish slowly, once golden brown on one side turn it over and golden brown the other. The flour mix helps it go a bit crispy on the outside.

Once cooked put fish on a plate and pour your creamy bacon and onion sauce on top or on the side.

Hi, Heli
I am vegetarian but my husband and daughter are not and they love fish these are two of the fish recipes that I cook for them, the Baked Fish with Mushrooms and Smoked Almonds is a favorite for special occasions and when I have the time to make it. The Italian Style Fish with Vegetables makes a great dish as I serve it with wild rice and it makes a great meal the fish and veggies and wild rice. I hope this helps you. If you have a question about the recipes please feel free to PM me, I am more then glad to help.
~Autumn~

Baked Fish with Mushrooms and Smoked Almonds
2 pounds fish fillets, cut into serving size
3 tablespoons butter or margarine pieces
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1½ cups sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup hickory-smoke flavored almonds
¼ teaspoon lemon pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
use parsley sprigs and lemon wedges for garnish

Place fillets in a single layer in a well-oiled baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, and lemon pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until fish flakes easily and is no longer translucent in the center. Then, combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and sauté over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
To serve, spoon mushroom mixture over fish. Garnish with parsley springs and lemon wedges.

Italian Style Fish and Vegetables

2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 medium Sliced onion
2 1/2 oz Jar sliced mushrooms, drain
1/2 teaspoon Basil
1/2 teaspoon Fennel
2 cup Frozen mixed vegetables
2 lb Fresh or frozen sole (thawed)
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
2 medium Tomatoes, sliced
1/3 cup Grated parmesan cheese

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion. Add mushrooms, basil and fennel.
Sauté for 4 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in frozen vegetables. Place fish fillets over vegetables, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange tomato slices over fish. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 12-16 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, cover and let stand until cheese melts (about 3 min).
