                   Salt
                   Pepper
                   4 TBSP Butter

                      1 tsp Finely grated Garlic




Procedure:  1.  Preheat oven 425 F
                  2.  Sprinkle Fish with salt and pepper.
                  3.  In a bowl, whisk together, cream cheese, mayo and garlic.
                       Mixture should be smooth.
                  4.  Melt butter, fry fish on both sides, just long enough for it to change color.
                       Do not over cook.  Transfer to a baking pan.
                  5.  Turn off the heat, add vegetables and stir to coat each piece with butter.
                       Scatter vegetables around the fish in the baking pan.
                  6.  Spread cream cheese-mayo mixture on top of fish.  Bake for 12 minutes
                       or until brown spots form on the topping.
                  7.  Remove from the oven.  Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting and
                       serving to allow topping to firm up a little.
