This makes a good, creamy-textured fish puree.
Makes 4 portions (in our case 2)
1 flounder, filleted and skinned
2 medium tomatoes, skinned, seeded, and chopped
a little margarine or butter
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup milk
1 small potato, peeled
Put the flounder (I used sole) into a casserole dish, cover with the tomatoes, dot wth butter, and add the bay leaf. Pour over most of the milk. Cover with foil and cook in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. (Note: My fish was soooo thin, I did 15 minutes and it was perfect.)
While the fish is cooking, boil the potato. When soft, mash it with the remaining milk and butter. Flake the fish when it is cooked, remove the bay leaf, and mash or puree the fish together with the liquid in which it was cooked. You can either mix in the mashed potato or serve it as an accompaniment to the fish.
OK - my other notes . . . I mixed in the potatoes. I also did not need the cooking liquid from the fish dish to puree it. I used a slotted spoon to scrape the fish & tomatoes out of the pan and it was juicy enough. Now George likes things on the think side, but there was plenty of other liquid if it's neeeded.

Coming out of the oven - the fish with tomatoes, a bay leaf and milk.
I flaked the fish and added in the mashed potatoes I made. Then into the food processor.
I didn't HAVE to process it prolly, but I hadn't diced up the tomatoes fine enough. So, I just pulsed a few times to make it the right texture for the little guy and VOILA! Fish (Sole) with Tomatoes and Potatoes.
