Dump-and-Bake Italian Fish Recipe with Broccoli and Rice

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large baking dish (about 9 x 13 inches) with cooking spray.

Step 2

In prepared dish or in a separate bowl, whisk together condensed soup, water, ¼ teaspoon of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.

Step 3

Stir in uncooked rice and frozen broccoli. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with foil.

Step 4

Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the rice is in the oven, pat the fish dry and rub with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with remaining ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 6

After the rice has baked for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, stir, and place the fish fillets on top.

Step 7

Cover with foil and return to the oven for 20-25 more minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork and rice is tender.

Step 8

For a crispy finish on the fish, during the final 3-5 minutes of baking time, I like to remove the foil and put the dish under the broiler.
