Submitted by Bellablue

"My dad conjured up this dish years ago and I forgot about it till now. I hope you all like it too! I serve this with rice pilaf or, couscous and green beans almondine. Note: One doesn't have to use all the butter or, breadcrumb mix. I like the amount shown but, less will do also."

Your Dad conjured up a great recipe. I had 1 1/2 lbs of cod and 8 oz of fresh mushrooms. I had a little less than one stick of butter so added olive oil to make up the difference. I also sautéed the mushrooms in olive oil beforehand. I used vermouth for the white wine. I did not increase the ingredients because I had more fish than called for and it still was plenty. Wow! Absolutely delicious! One of the first things my husband said to me this morning over coffee was "That fish last night was great. I'm glad we have leftovers". Will make this often.
