Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.

Place fish in a 9" x 13" baking dish that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until it flakes evenly with a fork; set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon dillweed, white pepper, celery, red peppers, and 1/8 teaspoon lemon juice; mix well. Flake fish into the mayonnaise mixture. Mix well.

Serve with cocktail sauce. (See Note)

Notes:
To serve, place the salad on a 10-inch serving plate and make an indentation in the center that's big enough to hold the cocktail sauce. Pour the sauce into the indentation. Cover and chill until ready to serve; serve chilled with saltine cracker
