Pepperoni Haddock (Pepperoni-Ysa In Icelandic) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice
800 g haddock fillets (skinned & boned, 1 3/4 lbs ~ may use cod or halibut)
3 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
115 g pepperoni (chopped, 4 oz)
150 g button mushrooms (sliced, 5 oz)
1 cup cream
1 tablespoon tomato paste (may use ketchup or chili sauce per note below)
115 g parmesan cheese (grated, 4 oz)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200C (390F). Spray an oven-proof baking dish w/PAM, spread the cooked rice evenly in the dish & set aside.
Cut the fish into pieces & dust them w/flour seasoned w/salt + pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, cook the fish quickly till golden brown on both sides & place evenly on top of rice.
Add pepperoni (chorizo or bacon if using) + sliced mushrooms to the frying pan & cook over a fairly high-heat for 3-4 minutes.
Add cream + tomato paste & bring to a slow boil. Remove from heat & pour sauce over the fish & rice.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top & bake till the cheese is golden brown & bubbling. Serve immediately.
NOTE: If you're at all like me, you hate to open a can of tomato paste to use 1 tbsp, so feel free to sub ordinary ketchup or even chili sauce which I would personally favor.
