Savory Asian Tuna

This tuna recipe was sooo good. I based the sauce on a Bobby Flay ponzu-style one. Served it with Baby Bok Choy Fried Rice w/ Basil.

Arctic char w/ tarragon butter sauce

So, it turns out I’m not a huge fan of char. Not surprising, as I don’t like salmon very much, but the flavor just doesn’t do it for me. That said, I did like the preparation here (it’s a WW recipe).

Fried Halibut

Last night was fish night, and I was somewhat stifled, creatively. I decided fish and chips sounded yummy, and I’d never made them before. I used a Tyler Florence recipe for the batter and it was light and perfect! For the chips, I made my classic oven fries, as they were slightly healthier and I [...]

Fancy Fish Pockets

This is a dish that has lovely presentation, and can serve for a vehicle for leftover veggies; what you have on hand.

Tuna Ceviche in an Avocado Half

Truth be told, I made this more for the fun presentation than anything else. But it was tasty enough, and worked for last week’s fish night.

Recipe Variation: Grilled Fish Tacos

I made fish tacos the other day. I made a marinade very similar to my old standby recipe. I added some chili powder, used cilantro as a topping rather than in the marinade, used sauteed poblanos, and used shredded cabbage and queso fresco as a garnish. But the biggest difference was I grilled the fish [...]

North African Fish Stew

Cookthink’s been good to me lately. Cooked this recipe (with slight tweaking) and was impressed what a great, robust addition it made to our weekly fish resolution.

Whole Roasted Rockfish

This was a culinary adventure! John and I went to Eastern Market Saturday and I decided to get over the hump of cooking a whole fish (which is my fave way to eat them). Bought a small rockfish from the fishmonger (John had to give cleaning instructions) and did my best to imitate the way [...]

Baked grouper

I’ve got annoying dietary restrictions for the next two weeks, so I was brainstorming a way to do my fish that didn’t have any of the offenders involved (tomatoes, “spicy” ingredients, etc.). This is what I came up with.

Lettuce-Wrapped Fish poached in White wine, butter

Very excited about this meal. Got the recipe from The Minimalist, who is quickly becoming one of my culinary heroes. The meal has a clean, healthy taste, and the Trader Joe’s frozen fish fillets performed very well here. I was also excited to use the steam function on my rice cooker for the first time [...]
