REDFISH IN CREOLE SAUCE 
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. oil
1/2 c. celery, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (16 oz.) can tomatoes, including liquid
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
1 lb. redfish fillets (trout, turbot, flounder or other lean white fish
of your choice)

Make roux: Combine flour and oil in a 4-cup glass measure. Stir well so that no lumps of flour remain. Microwave on high 4 minutes. Stir with wooden spoon. Microwave 1 minute at a time, stirring after each minute, until mixture is a deep brown color, about 3 to 4 minutes. To stop further browning, immediately add celery, green pepper, onion and garlic. Stir. Microwave on high 6 minutes to cook vegetables. Transfer mixture to a 3-quart round casserole. Stir in tomato sauce, tomatoes including liquid, cayenne pepper and salt. Cover and microwave on high 8 minutes or until mixture is very hot. Rinse fish fillets in cool water and pat dry. Cut fish into 2 inch chunks and add to hot Creole sauce. Cover. Microwave on high 4 to 5 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes. Serve on hot cooked rice. Serves 4.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
