Lemon and Brown Butter Fish Fillets

Here's a recipe for pan fried fish that my boys both love!  They even like the lemon butter sauce now.  :)

Lemon and Brown Butter Fish Fillets

It's a Rachel Ray recipe, and it's so good!  She does the meal with seared grape tomatoes, but we didn't like those.  So we always have this meal with crusty bread or boiled potatoes with butter and parsley.  Yummo!!!

2 T. extra virgin olive oil

1/4 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley

4 6oz fish fillets (we use tilapia)

flour for dredging

salt and pepper

4 T. cold unsalted butter

juice of 1 lemon

1.  Season fish with salt and pepper then dredge in flour.

2.  Heat oil in a large skillet.

3.  Shake off excess flour from the fish and add to the skillet.

4.  Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.  Set fish aside and cover to keep warm.

5.  Wipe the skillet clean and return to the cook-top over medium-high heat.

6.  Melt butter until it is brown and smells slightly nutty.

7.  Add the lemon juice and parsley.

8.  Serve fish with sauce.

BISTEK/ADOBO

I made this tonight with fresh green beans. I just added the green beans to step 4 and let it simmer until cooked.  I also added cornstarch to the whole recipe so that the marinade thickened to the meat and then also to the green beans.  Caleb ate the green beans up! He's been anti-green beans for the past few weeks so I was a little surprised.

(It's a modified filipino recipe)

Maple-Glazed Salmon

Ok, I've made this one twice recently with frozen wild caught Atlantic Salmon that I bought at Trader Joe's. I kind of made it up and adapted from a few recipes. We also switched over to cast iron cookware recently which really makes this perfectly! If you prep the glaze and seasoning ahead of time, it literally just takes minutes and is super yummy! I served with brown rice and brocolli.




Maple-Glazed Salmon



INGREDIENTS

1 TBS oil (I use coconut)

1/4 tsp all-natural liquid smoke

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 TBS cider vinegar

4 salmon fillets, skin removed

2 tsp My Seafood Seasoning (see below)



DIRECTIONS

Move your oven rack to the top and pre-heat the broiler on high.



In a small pot, bring the liquid smoke, maple syrup and vinegar to a boil and reduce over high heat, stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.



Season both sides of the salmon with My Seafood Seasoning.



Heat oil in a large, ovensafe skillet on medium-high. Cook the seasoned fish top-side down for 3-4 minutes.



Turn fish over and pour the maple glaze over the top and place on top rack under broiler for 3 minutes.



MY SEAFOOD SEASONING

1 TBS Black pepper

1 TBS Dry mustard

2 TBS Sea salt

1 1/2 TBS Ground bay leaves

1 1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1 tsp Cloves

1 tsp Ground ginger

1 tsp Paprika

1 tsp Cayenne pepper



Combine all ingredients and seal in jar. You will not use it all for this recipe once.

Florida Food

I live in south FL, so local recipes/foods would be about anything seafood. I don't make any one in particular. But, some of our faves are: Seared Mahi Mahi, Blackened Sesame Crusted Tuna, Coconut Shrimp...

Tilapia

Last night I made a show stopping left over dish. We had one and half tilapia loins left over from the other night. I kept seeing it in the fridge and couldn't stand the thought of it going to waist. And I had a HUGE bag of spinach I just got from COSTCO. I bought it thinking I"ll try to chop it up small and sneak it into all of Savannas meals this week... .


So here's what I did.

In a 8x8 casserole dish Layer in this order:

Cooked Rice

Sauteed spinach (seasoned with s/p)

Rough Salsa (I just threw it together last minute: chopped tomatoes, frozen chopped onions, chopped fresh cilantro from an herb plant I have, squirt of lime juice from those little plastic squirt bottles that are shaped like limes or lemons)

broken up pieces of leftover fish.


Cover and bake for 30 mins.



My husband could not stop raving about it. He said he'd order it in a restaurant. And he said that next time I need to make it on purpose not on accident.

Limes are a great, fresh taste for fish, any way you cook it.
