    Bake at 350°F. for 35 to 40 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

  • Inspired by the Andalusian recipes of southern Spain, this casserole contains the sweet and spicy flavors of tomatoes, bell peppers and pepper-derived ingredients such as chili sauce.
  • Chili sauce is located near ketchup and other condiments in the grocery store. Do not confuse it with chili paste, a hot, spicy ingredient used in Asian cooking.
  • Farm-raised catfish is especially tasty in this recipe. Flounder or trout can also be used.
