Preparation / Directions:
Combine first 10 ingredients in a 12x8x2" baking dish; stir well, being sure vegetables are evenly distributed in dish. Cover with clear plastic wrap; microwave at HIGH for 4 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender Arrange fish fillets over vegetables with thicker portions to outside of dish (thinner portions may overlap, if necessary).
Cover and microwave at HIGH for 3 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, giving dish one half-turn during cooking. Remove fish fillets, and keep warm. Strain fish stock, and discard vegetables. Add enough water to fish stock to measure 1/2 cup; use to prepare Creamy Swiss Sauce.
Return fillets to baking dish; spoon sauce over fillets. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and paprika. Cover and microwave at MEDIUM for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly.
Creamy Swiss Sauce: Place butter in a 1-quart glass measure or casserole dish. Microwave at HIGH for 30 seconds or until butter melts; blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually add half-and-half and fish stock, stirring well.
Microwave at HIGH 2-1/2 minutes; stir well. Microwave at HIGH for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring at 1 minute intervals. Add cheese, stirring until melted.
Yield: about 2 cups.
