A Fish Supper after a Day's Work

What can get much better than supper at home?
(Perhaps someone to do clean-up duty! My husband stars in that department.)


Sometimes coming in after a day of farm work, only my desire for a good meal motivates me to get cooking.  This particular evening I did not have anything specific in my mind for supper.  After taking inventory, this is what we had & enjoyed so much.

Whiting fillets with tomato, lemon & parsley
Black Japonica Rice
Fresh salad with Michigan dried cherries



Wash the fillets & rub with melted butter.  Sprinkle with garlic salt.  Mince fresh parsley & sprinkle over fillets.  Slice tomatoes & lemon, reserving a portion of the lemon.  With the reserved lemon, squeeze juice over all the fish.  Layer lemon & tomato slices.  Bake 400 F for about 10 minutes.
Fish should easily flake with fork with done.  Do NOT overcook fish -- it dries out & gets tough.  Perfectly baked fish should be very moist. 

Cook rice in chicken broth.  Sprinkle with lemon juice, if desired, once done.

Enjoy salad with Freddie's favorite dressing.
