MN Lines: 31 This recipe meets the word of the requirements, but I am not certain that it meets the spirit and intent because of the sugar in it. It is delightful and easy, so I will share it anyway. Simply place fish fillets (I recommend cod or torsk) in a glass baking dish which is only a little larger than the fillets (leave 1/4 - 1/2" between and around). Pour 7-Up (haven't tried diet or alternate brand) over all and bake 30-40 minutes, or until soda is almost all evaporated (forms brown, sticky layer around pan, but washes off easily). Use 8oz of soda for each pound of fish. No other seasoning is required. There are few recipes easier, and this one is surprisingly good for the effort. To totally blow away the intent of the request, it is even better when you drizzle parsley herb butter over the top..... Details for less experienced cooks: Buy fillets with firm, clear flesh. Frozen works fine, but let thaw. Wash the fillets, pat them dry, and check for bones and bone fragments. Many "fillets" have alot of bones. Parsley herb butter is easy to prepare: melt 1/4# butter, add 1T dried parsley, and pinches of other herbs that smell like they would be good with fish (tastes differ). Cover and keep warm 'til flavors mingle and dried herbs hydrate. Fresh herbs may be used, but if you are using fresh herbs, you don't need my instructions on how to use them here. Refridgerate leftover butter for next time, or use to make split-top herb bread or herb pull-apart loaf (recipe on request). ------ John Lind, DSC, 10273 Yellow Circle Drive, Mpls MN 55343 mail : { ihnp4!umn-cs, stolaf!umn-cs, umn-cme }!digi-g!jel USnail: Starfire Consulting Services, PO Box 13001, Minneapolis, MN 55414
