By: Jack Youngers – Salem, OR.

½ pound fresh mushrooms or 1 (6 oz.) can sliced mushrooms

1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce

3 tablespoons chopped onion

3 Tablespoons diced green pepper

1 tsp lemon juice

Rinse, pat dry and slice fresh mushrooms or drain canned mushrooms. Place mushrooms in a medium saucepan along with tomato sauce, onion, green pepper, lemon juice, salt, sugar and black pepper. Bring to boiling point, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes.

Spoon half of the mushroom mixture into a lightly greased 7 ½ x 9 ½ inch baking pan. Top with fish then remaining mushroom mixture.

Bake uncovered in a preheated oven (350°F) until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 20 minutes. Arrange fish on a heated platter. Spoon mushroom sauce over fish.
