Baked Cod or Other Fillets with Dried Mushroom Sauce

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400F.

2. 2

   Soak the mushrooms in the stock until softened, about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Trim any hard parts and chop roughly.

4. 4

   Pour the soaking liquid through a cheesecloth-lined strainer.

5. 5

   Use about half the butter to grease a baking dish just large enough to hold the fish.

6. 6

   Add the shallot, then the fish; sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Cover lightly with foil and bake for about 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Meanwhile, combine the mushrooms, sour cream, and enough of the soaking liquid to make a thin sauce.

9. 9

   Pour this over and around the fish, re-cover the pan, and continue to bake until the fish is done (a thin-bladed knife inserted into its center will meet little resistance), 5 to 10 minutes more.

10. 10

    Serve hot.
