I have been experimenting with recipes for fish and with a little inspiration from Kirstin at Nourish 123, I ended up with this tangy, sweet, delicious recipe for Deep Dish Fish & Veggies. The spinach was baked just right with the root veggies slightly crunchy and the apples soft in the middle with a hint of crunch toward the edges. The flavor combinations blended so well, my husband went back for seconds and thirds!
Deep Dish Fish & Veggies
Most of you know that I live in Alaska and that we fish for our own Salmon and Halibut. Recently my husband came home with some fresh Dolly Varden, a type of Char, which is a cousin to both salmon and trout. So I used the Dolly Varden in this dish and it was tender, flaky and tasty! I would think trout, halibut or any salmon would work just fine in this recipe! There are probably other fish it would be great with too that I am not familiar with out here in Alaska. This recipe is also gluten, grain and dairy free! The pan I used is my Pampered Chef rectangular baker. I would be lost without that pan! It cooks so evenly especially with root veggies!

Good fish recipes seem to be hard to come by. I would love to try this one because it looks so delicious.
Debra we are lucky because we catch our own fish here in Alaska. Try to get fish that is wild and not farm raised.
Those look so good! I’ll have to try em out some time! 🙂
I eat a lot of fish (don’t catch my own) and this looks very good for a fall dish.
