Halibut with Lemon Herb Crust.

OK. I'm SOOOO gonna toot my own horn here. By far one of the best meals I've EVER made.

Once again. We know me and the 'fishy' taste. Not fishy at all. So scrumptious I wanted more!

- 3/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs.
- 2 tbls grated parmesan cheese. I just get the bag where all the cheeses hang.
- 1 tbls lemon peel grated. I just hold the grater over a bowl and take a lemon to it. Generally the entire lemon skin grated equals about 1 tbls. Keep the lemon for later use or cut it up and put it in your disposal for a clean smelling garbage disposal. Maybe the plummber wouldn't say that....so don't call me if it breaks. But I always do it. :o)
- 2 tbls light mayo
- 1/2 tsp dried tarragon leaves. Don't skip this. You can get a little container from the spice section...not expensive and I promise you will want to make this again!!
- 4 (or however many) Halibut fillets. I'm sure this recipe would be great with any white fish but trust me try the Halibut. BOMB DIGGITY!
- 2 tbls lemon juice. I have a container I keep in my fridge. I use it for lots of things. Or member that lemon you had..................?? This is optional though. I've forgotten it once. Still amazing.


1.Set oven at 425.
2.Mix the mayo and tarragon leaves in a bowl.
3.Bread crumbs, cheese, lemon peel in another bowl.
4.Put your halibut on a baking sheet (cookie sheet) and don't use oil or pam or anything.
5. Spread mayo mixture on halibut and then press the bread crumb mixture on.
6. Bake 10 minutes.

ENJOY!

I made it with glazed herbed carrots and gingered cous cous salad. All a perfect trio!

Grilled Salmon with Citurs Salsa

This meal is healthy and quick and did I mention super de-lish?!

I love fish. But I hate ANYTHING that has a strong fishy taste. I'm super picky about the fish I cook and eat so if you are not sure just trust me. If I eat it - it is not 'fishy'. Salmon is one type of fish I will not eat anywhere. I will not order it EVER. I have to cook it at home myself. Places usually cook it with a lot of oil when really none is necessary b/c it has a lot of oil already. Anyways....moving forward.

I got two beautiful pcs of salmon at the Ralphs on Ventura and Topanga. My new preference when I'm in that area. The Ralphs on Sherman Way and the one on Victory do not have a great seafood collection. Albertons on Victory is where I will usually go but this Ralphs on Ventura is actually really nice and has a very big seafood selection.

Anyways. The salmon seriously cooks in under ten minutes. So I'd cut up the salsa stuff first. Don't want to overcook the salmon.

-2 Naval Oranges
-2 Medium Tomatos
- 2/3 cup slided up green onions (the long green things with the white balls at the end)
- 1/4 cup cilantro. (I'm really glad I added this b/c it adds a lot of flavor)
- However many pcs of salmon you want to make. The salsa works for 4 pcs. I always cook 2 though since it's just me and the man.
-Spray butter. Regular butter is fine but the spray is easy. Esp if you cook a lot.


Yes that's it.

Cut up the oranges, tomatoes and green onions. (No peel for the oranges). Pour it with the cilantro in a bowl and set aside.

Spray a couple sprays of butter on the salmon fillets and cook over medium heat in a skillet (no need to use oil or pam or anything like that) for about 10 minutes total. Only flip it once. So about 5 min each side.

Pour your salsa on top and wa la! So YUMMY!. And like I said you are not adding any oils or sauces so it's super healthy. The salsa is juicy enough with the juices from the oranges and tomatoes. Literally has about 250 calories total.

The sides I did were roasted cauliflower and broccoli along with cous cous.

The pic has lots of salsa b/c I poured extra on with having just two pcs of fish.

Easy Fish Recipe

I know fish is a hard thing b/c a lot don't like it or whatnot but this fish recipe is seriously EASY, FAST, and YUMMY. There is NO fishy taste.

• Any white fish. I get swai or catfish. Both are really good. It's also really inexpensive. I can get a couple pcs for a few bucks.
• Parmesan cheese
• Any type of breadcrumbs (I usually get garlic and herb for any 'breadcrumb' recipe)
  
• Mayo (fat free if you want to keep it on the lighter side although in my opinion fat free mayo tastes way different)
• Garlic (I used minced in a big ol jar in my fridge- I'm OBSESSED WITH GARLIC)

In a pan lay down your fish. I use a glass pan and I don't spray any pam or anything. I just lay my fish in there b/c the juices from it will keep it from sticking.

In a bowl I put my mayo, parmesan cheese and garlic. I don't do any measuring. You can do equal parts cheese and mayo. The garlic is totally up to you. And its easy where if you need a tiny bit more you just pour more in the bowl. Mix it all up and spread it over your fish. Pour the breadcrumbs on top of the fish and pop it in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. (I usually start the oven and by the time its done my fish is ready to go in).

While my fish is cooking I make a quick salad and make a pot of brown rice. The fish goes good with the brown rice as a side. You can even eat the bites together.

And the fish is totally ok to cook a little longer if you want it more 'firm' or 'cooked' thru. I usually take it out between 20 and 25 min. Usually when the salad and rice are both done and on plates ready to go. It all really takes about 25 min from start to finish.

Enjoy!
