Eating Fish

On the suggestion of Pancake Goddess, I made fish tacos. I didn't quite have enough fish (cod), so I added some boneless, skinless chicken breast.

EVERY. SINGLE. MEMBER. OF. MY. FAMILY. ATE. MORE. THAN. ONE.

Yes, that was a yell. At least two members "hate" fish and those same two "hate" anything different, yet they ate it with gusto.

OK, maybe not quite as much gusto as usual. They only ate two and four respectively, but that was enough to not have leftovers:)

Grouper with Tomato-Olive Sauce

A hit with three of us, even with the jalapeno in it. The same three of us enjoyed the Garlic Asparagus. In fact, it was so good, I was happily disappointed when Nathan decided that he liked it and wanted a full serving. Otherwise, I would have some left-overs.

You can get the recipe here. A resounding YUM!

I'm actually looking forward for fish for dinner tomorrow. I have no idea what it will be....If there isn't any in the freezer, I might have to have chicken.

Edible Fish

I've always wanted to enjoy eating fish, but I just haven't been able to. I normally eat about three bites and then either think "this isn't so good...." or "bleh, it all tastes the same and is infusing it's flavor into everything else."

So, now seems to be the ideal time to learn to eat it. Why now? Because my taste buds are AWOL.

And, it's working. I've been eating it most days for the past two weeks, at least once a day: As an entree for dinner and leftovers on salad for lunch or a snack at night. Admittedly, I like it well done so there is no fishy texture to it;)

Tonight, I invented my own recipe: Citrus-Pesto-Spinach Salmon

Season Salmon with salt and pepper.
Coat Salmon fillets with jarred pesto sauce.
Cover thickly with handfuls of raw spinach.
Cover spinach with sliced oranges and lemons.
Lay slices of tomato over all.
Cover with foil and bake at....350 (does that seem reasonable?) until you think to check it. When spinach is all wilted, crank oven to broil until you think the fish is probably done.
