I start planning what to cook over the weekend on Thursday. Make a list of ingredients needed and check the availability. On the way back from work, on Friday, I buy the items that are not at home. Weekend lunch is a very important ritual at our home. Weekends are the only time, we get to eat together, so very special for me. Also, as I am into a full time job, I hardly get time to cook over the weekdays.
So while deciding what to cook for lunch, I also try to ensure that the dish is liked by daughter, husband and myself. Non veg is an easy choice that fits the bill. In the summers, due to heat , curries seem to be heavy, also, they take a lot of time for me to be in the kitchen. Keeping in mind weather, likings and nutrition I decided to do Baked Fish this weekend.

Ingredients

- Wash and cut potatoes into halves. Soak it in water while you clean other vegetables
- Wash and clean the mushrooms. Wipe each mushroom with a kitchen towel. If the mushrooms are big cut them into halves
- Cut onion into rings and soak in water for 5 minutes. Drain the water and take out onion rings
- In a pan take a spoon of olive oil and pan fry the potatoes. When potatoes are cooked add a spoon of oregano and add salt. Keep the potatoes aside. Alternatively, especially if you want to cut down on calries, you can fry the potatoes in an airfryer.
- In the same pan, heat one teaspoon of oil, and stir fry mushroom. When mushrooms are cooked add salt and oregano. Keep the mushrooms aside.
- Once again heat a teaspoon of oil and add garlic. When garlic is light pink add spinach and cook.
- Grease a baking dish and preheat oven at 200 degrees
- Place spinach as the first layer, then potatoes and then mushrooms
- Cover this with strips of basa, season with salt and oregano
- Beat the eggs and add salt and pepper. Pour the eggs uniformly on the fish
- Put the onion rings , bell peppers, cheese , shredded sun dried tomatoes and cheese
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- This would go wonderfully with Garden Fresh Salad.
- Notes : Since we are layering the vegetables and fish, add salt seperately for each layer. Spinach does not need salt.
