Directions: 1. Thaw fish, if frozen. In a medium covered saucepan, cook sweet peppers and onions in a small amount of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain. 2. Rinse fish; pat dry. Dot each fillet with 1/2 teaspoon of the butter. Place 1/4 of the pepper mixture across the center of each fillet. Roll up fillet from the short sides. Secure with wooden picks. Place fish, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish. Stir together wine or broth, fine herbs, salt (omit if using broth)and black pepper; drizzle over fish. 3. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Transfer fish to a platter; keep warm. 4. For sauce, measure pan juices; add enough water to measure 3/4 cup. In a saucepan, combine the 1 tablespoon cold water and the cornstarch; stir in pan juices. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. If desired, serve fish on a bed of rice. Spoon sauce over fish. Makes 4 servings.
