steelhead trout

this is just the trout smothered in herbs/spices and enough butter or olive oil to make it stick. then i broil it.

smoked salmon salad

smoked salmon salad with hot baby corn, romaine and sun dried tomatoes. this salad was divine!

fish tacos (part deux)

matt loves fish tacos and we've been trying to get the right for some time. this time i looked up a recipe from rubio's in cali. i used palauch fish and a "fish fry" batter instead of the beer batter. the yogurt sauce made the whole thing i think. plus green cabbage and salsa. they were delicious! and here is a shark's jaw bone piece of cabbage. watch out!

halibut and asparagus

fish=broiled and generously seasoned

asparagus=seasoned and sauteed

fish tacos

so... fish tacos are awesomely awesome. i have made them with tilapia, but this time matt got shark on sale at k-roger so i used shark. i grilled them with a lot of seasoning and a little oil. i have such a dang hard time flipping the fish, it makes me crazy. i got taco shells and some peach mango salsa. the salsa was great "because people like to say 'salsa!'"

i love you seared tuna

aah aahh aaaahhh... aah aahh aaaahhh... seeeeaard tuuna (that first part was from the little mermaid). man, oh man that was so good. all i did was warm up a pan and put some pepper and salt and olive oil in there. wholly geez. (this particular tuna was left over from sushi prep so you know its good and fresh! - we never got to the tuna ... only did the salmon (wish i had pictures!)).

and here is the slushee a la matty pants:

tuna

if somebody finishes making lemon slushes in the kitchen ... i will make seared tuna and it will be great. pictures to come

chicken

i need to be chickenly inspired. i made mesquite lime chicken tonight. it was good and tender but not great. i think it would have been better if i had gotten skin-on but someone doesn't like the skin-on chicken. crispy...mmmmmm. anywhozzle, we had asparagus with it which i steamed in a foil envelope with oil and vinegar and spices. i love asparagusssesss a bunch. chicken and mushrooms tomorrow. i think i'll "bread" it with crispy onions and nuts and parm cheese and spices. i don't know if mushrooms count as a side dish... if i make a creamy sauce for them i think that will do very well indeed. i made trout last night and it was superb. i feel like i'm bragging here but it was so very easy to do. on the side, we had broccoli with lemon butter. i don't think i've ever had trout before, but i will continue to eat it in the future (were trying to do more fish, yay!). i wonder if i should do recipes on this?
