Pepperoni Haddock (Pepperoni-Ysa In Icelandic)

• 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)

1. Preheat oven to 200C (390F). Spray an oven-proof baking dish w/PAM, spread the cooked rice evenly in the dish & set aside.
2. Cut the fish into pieces & dust them w/flour seasoned w/salt + pepper.
3. 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.
4. Add pepperoni (chorizo or bacon if using) + sliced mushrooms to the frying pan & cook over a fairly high-heat for 3-4 minutes.
5. Add cream + tomato paste & bring to a slow boil. Remove from heat & pour sauce over the fish & rice.
6. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top & bake till the cheese is golden brown & bubbling. Serve immediately.
7. 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.
