Add vegetable flakes to boiling water in skillet. Add fillets and simmer tightly covered for 10 minutes, or until fish flakes. Remove from heat. Flake fish and reserve with 1 cup cooking liquid. Melt butter in large saucepan. Add scallions and cook over medium heat until softened. Stir in flour, salt, pepper and bubble over low heat, 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk.
