Fish Dinner

[SarasotaCook]

This is a mix of recipes. I mixed mayo and mustard and brushed a light coating on the fish. Mixed Italian seasoning, parm and panko and topped the fish. Baked until golden brown. I used snapper.

Cheesy cauliflower; brown rice mixed with scallions, fresh parsley and mint.

It's a little yellow looking; but tasted good. Broccoli would of been a better color choice, lol.

That looks just great! Nothing more needed. I think you gave me a great idea for tonight: bought fresh-off-the-boats fish today, a delicious Roman (will try a photo!)

Your fish looks utterly delicious. I want mine to look like that too!

[Zurie]

Scaled but whole:



Will be "anointed" much like yours, but I'll "bless" it with melted butter and olive oil as well.

By the way, I do think we tend to eat "head to tail" in South Africa, almost all animals included!!

Yet most people prefer their fish filleted. For me and DH it depends. I do fillet most fish, but this particular type is better on the bone -- and the head is totally delicious!!

Well, it's more of a sucking-off of the bones of the head than eating it, and is a messy business ... Won't serve it to guests like that!

Thx Zurie, it is really easy and quick cooking. I use a light coating; but, it adds a nice tang to the fish. I caught the snapper a couple of months ago - They freeze well and I love the snapper, so sweet

I needed detox after all that turkey food, lol

[SarasotaCook]

That looks like a delicious fish. Yes, I would love it whole. I love baking fishing or grilling fish like that. The whole bone just comes out - so tender.

Fish here in the states comes filleted most; but I love to cook it whole when I can get it fresh.

I used to stuff sea bass with lemon, dill, onion, and tomatoes; brush with a spicy vinaigrette and grill. It is so delicious.

Enjoy your fish tonight; looks wonderful!!

Oh, Steve!

I hope I am NOT hijacking Kim's great fish photo. Me adding to it was just because I was so happy to find this particular fish today, and Kim's description gave me the right idea!

I feel like, next time I'll buy two, cut off the heads, and ask anyone around whether they want the bodies! And no, yes, the flesh is gorgeous!! Ate far too much. But the head is heavenly-tasting.

The juices were not that deep colour -- it's the camera under kitchen lights which did that. It was butter and olive oil.

(I do not expect anyone but a born-and-bred coastal S-African would understand that!!! )

[SarasotaCook]

I like a good hijack! The fish looks fantastic. I'm jealous of that whole baked fish.

Besides the whole photo forum to me, not only showcases great recipes ... but gives people ideas that they may not think of ... of what to make.

I see things that someone has made ... and I may not make the same thing; but, it gives me an idea of what to make. And I have made many from this forum. Sometimes for my catering, etc; so I may not photograph those dishes. But, I certainly pass along the site and the recipes I made.

SC, had to laugh as at first glance thought it was mac and cheese then saw it was cauliflower.

Wow Zurie what a red fish!

Yes SC you did get hijacked but I think both yours and Zuries dinner looked yummy!! And I got a two for one

[SarasotaCook]

LOL Hi jacks are a good thing!

[SarasotaCook]

Deb, the whole idea for dinner was to go lighter. But then I added mayo and bread crumbs to the fish. Rice, CARBS, and cheese on veggies ...
So much for the lighter dinner,

Got to cheet sometimes
