Baked White Fish Fillet In Sour Cream

Baked White Fish Fillet
Ingredients:
2 white fish fillet, wash and pat dry ( I have used frozen Basa fillet)
150 gms sour cream
1 medium sized onion, chopped
8-9 small button mushrooms, cut into quarters
1/2 tsp paprika
Grated cheese, a hand full (I have used Mozerella)
Chopped spring onion for garnishing
1 tbsp olive oil for frying and very little for greasing
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F and place the rack at the center of oven.
Grease a baking pan and keep aside. 
Heat oil in a pan. Keep it on medium to low flame.
Add the chopped onion and saute until it turns light brown in colour.
Add the mushrooms and saute until the moisture evaporates and the mushrooms are cooked. 
Add black pepper and salt. Do not add too much of salt as it will also be added in the sour cream.Saute for another minute or so. 
Remove from heat and keep aside.
Place the fillets in the greased baking pan. Tuck in the extra sides, if any.
Season the fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. 
Now spread the sauteed onion and mushrooms on top of the fillet.
Take the sour cream in a bowl along with the grated cheese. Add salt, pepper and paprika. Mix all the ingredients well. Do not add too much salt as the cheese is also salty. Taste the seasoning, if required. 
Now spread this paste on top of the onions and mushrooms so that it covers the fillet completely.
Sprinkle some spring onions on top. If you want more cheese you can sprinkle some on the top layer also.
Bake this for 10-15 mins or until the fillet is opaque and flaky.
Cut and serve steaming hot with rice or pasta.
Tips:
You can use Chives in place of Spring onion.
You can add mushrooms and onion as per your taste.
Generally, calculate 10 minutes baking time per 1 inch (2.5 cm), measured at the thickest part of the fish.
At times I sprinkle Thyme on the fillet along with the rest of the seasoning, even you can try that.
