grilled mahi tacos with avocado cream

Sunday, August 10, 2008

I think everyone who picked up the most recent Domino mag fell in love with this recipe. Not just the idea of fish tacos (who doesn’t love fish tacos any day?), but the beautiful outdoor table setting, all the colors, all the “I just threw this little impromptu get-together with my friends and my [...]

pan seared tilapia with chile lime butter

Monday, July 14, 2008

5 Comments

I found this great recipe for chile lime butter on Epicurious. Not counting the time it takes for the butter to soften on the counter, the entire meal is ready in 20 minutes. This is definitely going in the weekly rotation. I saved the leftover butter and was able to use it [...]

lemon and herb crusted halibut over arugula salad

Pacific halibut is now available at WF here in Atlanta, and I can’t stop thinking about new ways to try it. I found this Emeril recipe and when I saw that it involves painting the fillet with dijon mustard (before pressing with lemon zest and herbs), it reminded me of this delicious vinaigrette concoction [...]

grilled grouper with cheddar grits, tostadas and chipotle salsa

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Several weeks ago I went to Buckhead Diner for lunch, and had one of those entrees that you think about for days afterwards. It was such a unique combination of things - cheesy grits underneath a couple of crisp tostadas, with grilled mahi-mahi, all topped with a smoky chipotle sauce and fresh guacamole. [...]

salmon with agrodolce sauce

Friday, May 2, 2008

Why have I never heard of this before? A rich syrupy balsamic sauce ready in 15 minutes, served over perfectly cooked salmon fillets? Healthy, delicious, and I can make it in 30 minutes - my dream recipe. I found this in Gourmet magazine (April 2008), and hung on to it because I’ve [...]

walnut-crusted tilapia with lemon cream sauce

This is a new recipe for me, and although there are a few technicalities I’ll address next time I make it (not chopping the walnuts as fine, for one), it was absolutely delicious. Tilapia is my new favorite fish — only $9 a pound, from WF, where they promise it is farmed in an [...]

roasted halibut with citrus olive tapenade

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

2 Comments

In my quest to eat fish once per week (our previous trend of steak 3 times a night was probably more fun for me than my arteries), I’ve discovered the simple pleasure of this combination: olives and fish. Yes, really. This unique tapenade would work well on top of any white fish, either [...]

parsley-lemon sea bass

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

This is a simple pan-fried fish (any white fish, I used chilean sea bass but you could use halibut, grouper, etc) with a delicious and not-too-unhealthy sauce based on a recipe I found in Food & Wine magazine. This makes about enough sauce for 4 fillets, but it’s so simple it would be easy [...]

I tried a recipe tonight from the Moosewood Restaurant cookbook (a great recommendation from my friend Lydia — even though it’s a vegetarian cookbook, it’s not at all limited to veggies). It was super easy, just shake a few fillets of fish in a ziploc bag with 1/4 c cornmeal and 3 T Old Bay. [...]
