The combination of wine, Gruyere cheese and toasty bread in this fish casserole evokes the flavors of fondue...a perfect winter food. Choose Pacific cod, it’s an ocean-friendly choice. Make It a Meal: Serve with steamed broccoli and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 Medium onions, very thinly sliced
1 cup Dry white wine
1 1/4 pounds Pacific cod, cut into 4 pieces
2 teaspoons Chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
1 1/2 cups Finely chopped whole-wheat country bread (about 2 slices)
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 cup Finely shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until just starting to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine, increase heat to high and cook, stirring often, until the wine is slightly reduced, 2 to 4 minutes.

3. Place cod on the onions and sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Cover the pan tightly with foil; transfer to the oven and bake for 12 minutes.

4. Toss the bread with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl. Spread the bread mixture over the fish and top with cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the fish is opaque in the center, about 10 minutes more.

My husband and I really liked this. I had to change a few parts but it was still good. Can't wait to try it with all the right stuff!

Good recipe! But VERY rich. Not really something that I will be making a lot.

Very good, especially for an onion lover like me. I substituted the cod for Tilapia because the store was out of cod. I think this would work for almost any fish.
