Click here for recipe Cooking Light, September 2009 Yes, we were without internet for a while. It was sad...and boring. This, on the other hand, was very interesting. I still have some of the pesto butter in the fridge. I think it would make an interesting topping for pasta. Not that pesto on it's own isn't good enough, but the butter would melt with the hot pasta and make it tasty. Anyway, I used cod. I couldn't find halibut at BJs. It was good. Different and good. I made a tomato salad … [Read more...]
Sautéed Sole with Browned Butter and Capers
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, August 2009 YUM! O M G this was delicious! It will definitely be on the make again list. We don't have butter, so I used ICBNB and it turned out just fine. The "butter" browned just like regular butter would have. I was concerned with this, but I shouldn't have been. I am really starting to like capers with fish. I don't know why, but it's really become a favorite of mine. Guess it's kind of like fancy tartar. It's simple, has few ingredients, and goes … [Read more...]
Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Peppercorn Pan Sauce
Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Peppercorn Pan Sauce Cooking Light, MARCH 2004 This was good, but lemony. I'd cut the lemon juice to about half or a little more than half. The peppercorns were interesting. They added a heat to the dish. I'd never used them before. I think this is going on our make again list. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board Large nonstick skillet … [Read more...]
Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes with Horseradish Sauce
Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes with Horseradish Sauce Cooking Light, January 2008 What else is new, I didn't follow the recipe. *snort* They didn't have the salmon in the pouches, still, and I had a coupon for Startkist buy 2 get one free so I wasn't about to waste that. Yes, we got tuna. I couldn't taste the dill, but I could taste the lemon. They came out more like tuna melt patties. I'm sure they would have been more tasty with salmon. Oh well! I took mine the next day and made a sammy out … [Read more...]
Mustard and Herb-Crusted Trout
Mustard and Herb-Crusted Trout Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2003 Meh. This was okay. It didn't get crispy enough to suite me. I don't think I like the combination of mustard and fish. I may try it next time with some mayo or something like that. I did, however, like the taste of the tarragon with the fish. That's an interesting flavor I've never tried before. Knife Measuring cups and spoons Cutting board Cookie sheet (we used the toaster oven) Mini Cuisinart (just cause I have one and can … [Read more...]
Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple-Pepper Relish
Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple-Pepper Relish Cooking Light, APRIL 2007 We had this Tuesday night. That's our light night as I WI on Wednesday mornings. It was really good. I made some cumin rice to serve with it. I would, however, use crushed pineapple in juice instead of the chunk. The chunks were just too big. I would also use red onion, as it's better for salsas and salads than yellow ones. Or even a Walla Walla or Vidalia. I drained the chunks and added just a splash of juice a the end. … [Read more...]
Dover Sole with Lemon Rind and Pine Nuts
Dover Sole with Lemon Rind and Pine Nuts Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2007 True to form, we didn't use Dover sole. We used tilapia, which I'm REALLY beginning to like in almost every fish dish we make. This dish was really good. I thought the directions were weird, and I used a cookie sheet with a lip instead of a baking dish, but all the flavors blended nicely and the pine nuts added a nice texture to the ingredients. I think we'll make this one again, if I remember it. Knife Cutting … [Read more...]
Garlic-and-Herb Oven-Fried Halibut
Garlic-and-Herb Oven-Fried Halibut Cooking Light Okay, I've got to admit that I've made this TWICE since I posted it on here. It's WONDERFUL! Both times, I've made it with tilapia (because that's usually what's the cheapest at the fish counter), but it would be great with any white, mild flavored fish. Cod being my fave, we haven't tried it with that, yet. Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Two small bowls Saute pan Broiler pan (we used the toaster oven) … [Read more...]
