volant: Is scrod a white fish?

4 pieces scrod fillet (6-8 ounces each)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups white wine
1/2 cup butter, melted, divided
1 cup dried bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a baking pan large enough to hold the scrod in a single layer. Place the scrod in the prepared baking pan, and add the salt, pepper, lemon juice, and wine. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the melted butter over the fish. Bake at 350° for approximately 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes but is still moist. Remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Scatter the bread crumbs over the fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup butter. Brown under the broiler for 2-5 minutes only, until lightly browned, and serve. Serves 4.


This recipe is wonderfully simple and delicious with other kinds of fish, too. Try orange roughy or tilapia or even catfish fillets.

Cook the fettucine according to package directions first.
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
8 ounces fettucini, cooked, drained


In large saucepan, stir together cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter, and milk over low heat until smooth. Add fettucine; toss lightly. Serves 4.

For whole birds, cook breast side down for first half of cooking time, then breast side up until done. Cover chicken loosely with wax paper during cooking. Check for doneness after 5 minutes standing time. Internal temperature of whole bird should be 180°F in the thigh, or 170°F in the breast, and 165°F for boneless parts. When cut, juices should run clear, with no pink flesh.

"Snoopy": Yes, i am sure you can, not to sure if the skin would crisp up though.

Weigh the chicken and cook i for 4-5 minutes per pound, make sure the chicken is defrosted though before putting it in the microwave.
