The Pescetarian Thread Recipes/Discussion

I skipped the Salmon last night, and here's what I ended up cooking...

I sauteed asparagus, mushrooms, sliced garlic, rosemary, salt & pepper, & red pepper flakes in olive oil, and butter.

Then I removed the asparagus, and sauteed the shrimp with the mushrooms. Next I removed the shrimp & mushrooms. Then I added sour cream, white wine, and asiago cheese and simmered/whisked until it was nice and thick. I put the shrimp on top of the mushrooms & asparagus, and topped them with the sauce & freshly cracked pepper.

It was pretty delicious, but these are common ingredients that I work with frequently because I enjoy them together so much.

I bought fresh halibut today, and some fresh dill and a few other tasty ingredients I'm going to try out tonight.

This is one of my favorite dishes to make, and it's very fast and extremely yummy and still a company-quality dish. If you get out all your ingredients then start your rice first, the rest will be done by the time the rice is cooked 20 minutes later.

You do not need to add the ham, though I add more olives or toss in some capers when I leave it out for my vegetarian friends.

You don't need the annotto oil, just olive.

Do NOT use the jarred sofrito if you can help it, since it's so easy to make fresh -- I just toss a half a bell pepper, half an onion, and a huge handful of cilantro into the food processor with a little oil and just blend it until smooth. I use a LOT more than 1/4c usually!

I've also made this with salmon, and with chicken.

YUM!!

This looks like an interesting bunch of flavors, I definitely want to try it, or at least play around with a couple of the ingredients...


Roasted Salmon with Dill and Cilantro

Almost Afghan



2 ½ lbs. boneless salmon

1/3 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 tablespoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground pepper

2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh dill

½ cup parsley chopped

lemon slices

In a bowl mix olive oil, cumin, oregano, pepper and salt. Rub mixture on skinless side of salmon and marinade as early as the day before or at least for an hour.

Pre-heat oven, 450 degrees.

Line broiling pan with foil. Bake salmon on foil with skinless side up in pre-heated oven for 10 minutes per inch of thickness at thickest part. When done you may serve immediately or allow to cool. Serve at room temperature. Place the salmon on a serving dish long enough for the salmon, garnish with dill and cilantro and serve with slices of lemon.

Serves 6

I ended up going with simple, something that is unusual for me. I pan seared the skin side, and then brushed the halibut with olive oil, sprinkled salt, pepper, and chopped fresh dill. Then I placed it on a foil covered baking sheet, and baked it in the toaster oven for 20 minutes. I ate it with the left over asparagus and mushrooms from yesterday's meal, and I did end up making my dill sauce.

This was my first time cooking halibut, and it was super easy, tasted fabulous, and it didn't even need the dill sauce. It was that good, all on its own.
