The combination of wine, gruyere cheese and toasty bread in this fish casserole evokes the flavors of fondue - a perfect winter food (we used it during Lent).

CHEF-BOY-I-BE-ILLINOIS' BAKED COD CASSEROLE

Chef-Boy-I-Be-Illinois' Baked Cod Casserole image

Fall weather puts me in the mood for comfort food such as casseroles, but I don't want all the calories that usually come with them. So I paired cod with potatoes and used an Italian inspired tomato sauce to bring it all together. My partner and I really enjoyed this last night and I hope you will too. You can use any type fish you like, as long as it flakes easily when cooked. I think I'm going to try smoked salmon next time. For the potatoes, I like to use Yukon gold, but any low starch potato will work well.

If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or bread crumbs as a topping.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil to sauté the vegetables.
If you want a crispy topping, broil the casserole for a few minutes before serving.
