Last night, the little boys were sick. Sleep all day, sneeze a little, cough a lot, leave poor Thor lonely...you get the picture. Anyway, dinner needed to be fast and easy so I could get my sickos back to bed. This fish was fast and easy, and everyone liked it. There's not much of a recipe here; it was more of "winging it"!
Saute the fish filets in 2 tbsp butter until cooked. Remove the fish from the skillet, whisk in 1 tbsp cornstarch, then add 3/4 cup heavy cream and 3/4 cup milk to make white sauce. Return the fish to the skillet, top with diced tomato and thick slices of cheddar. Cover and simmer until the cheese melts. I served this with heart attack potatoes - so dubbed by my middle daughter when she was about 13. Sliced red skinned potatoes, boiled, with the skin on, until tender, then stirred with 1 stick of melted butter, copious amounts of freshly ground pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley per 2 pounds of potatoes. Her reaction the first time I made them? "Heart attack goodness on a plate!"

I couldn't get your DoT post to load correctly, so I'll tell you here that I think I'll have to let my girls use the Thor method of random selection next time!
Oh bummer, so sorry that the boys are under the weather. I bet Thor is missing his buddies. Hopefully they'll perk up today. Love your cheddar fish! That white sauce sounds great, and I really like the tomatoes on top. Your potatoes are killer, too! Hope you stay healthy! Should I send some milkshakes over?
i just read a super long post about how italians never combine fish and cheese. frankly, this appeals to me more. :)
Hope your boys are feeling better soon. Poor Thor, I bet he is lonely; you'll have to run and play with him Marjie - I'm counting on you! ;-)
For winging it, the fish looks really good!
The whole meals looks perfect. Rich, creamy and delicious.
Hope the boys feel better soon.
Poor guys! This looks like a delicious dinner...wow, love it.
Oh, poor babies, and poor lonely Thor! I hope they're feeling better.
