Baked Fish, Greek Style : page 24

Quite a nice way to do a bit of fish. I used halibut, but any fillets or steak would do nicely.

I used some oven-dried tomatoes instead of fresh or canned. It worked fine.

Made a pretty presentation with the red, white, and green sauce topping the fish.

Salmon or Tuna with Macaroni and Mushrooms : page 183

Very tasty. Kind of a 60s experience with pasta and canned tuna and a creamy sauce baked in the oven. Still good, though. :-)

I half a recipe that says it serve 6. It served 2 fine, not overgenerously.

After the onion and garlic are softened in butter, the recipe says to gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and smooth. It's as if some flour had been previously stirred in, but there's none in the ingredient list or in the instructions. In the end, I added some potato starch to thicken it up a bit.

I baked in individual square casseroles (4", I guess).
