Good evening to everyone who pops in! Since I still have left overs from yesterday of the delicious Chicken noodle soup, I am pulling out one of my recent experiments instead for this evenings addition. Now let me premise this by saying that I am not really a fish person at all, but when I was at the grocery store I was in the seafood section, on my way to get some shrimp when I saw sale on Swai (apparently a catfish sub breed big in asia) fish fillets for under $1.00 a fillet (and they looked like a full side of a fish! huge!). So I was like why not, it was cheap enough I could live with a failure. Much to my surprise it was actually good! Who knew.
So for supper I made the following.
Pan Seared Fish with ginger
1 fillet of Swai Fish
1-2 tablespoons of fresh cut ginger root (finely minced
1/4 cup of Lime juice (which I let the fish sit in for a while first)
a few dashes of Dill
I added a bit of olive oil to the pan, and seared each side of the fish for a little bit to start the process on a higher heat, then lowered it a bit and slathered the ginger root, dill and lime mixture onto one side of it, and covered for a bit again (I am horrible with times). I then flipped the fish over, so the mixture side got a good bit of time on the cooking side, to help crisp that side of the fish up as well, then just pulled out of the pan and plated.
For the sauce I just used a bit of mayo, lime, pepper and a couple more dashes of dill. I like it to be a little spicy so I dashed a bit more pepper then some may like.
Since I just bought an iced tea maker, I have been playing with flavor combinations. The drink with this one was raspberry and ginseng, it was delicious!
Salad on the side is Baby spinach, chopped up, with some radishes and feta cheese, tossed with just a bit of peppercorn mayo to give it some zing. Yes peppercorn mayo is on my love list! it is Peppercorn mayo that is made with olive oil.... so good!
