Fish Tacos

I love making fish tacos with all different varieties of fish. This one in particular is quite delicious. My husband’s favorite fish is black cod, also known as sable fish. It is super buttery and very flavorful- not fishy at all- which he doesn’t like. I usually cook this fish marinated in miso.. but this preparation is very different. I felt like eating fish tacos and I had this fish in my freezer and decided to use it. The tacos came out really well, especially topped with the yummy salsa- enjoy!!

I then chopped them up really well and added them to the ground turkey. I also added some chopped parsley and the regular suspects including an egg and panko breadcrumbs soaked in milk. The result was deliciou! I had them with a big salad and my daughter and husband enjoyed them with some whole wheat spaghetti! read more …

Cilantro and Dill Roast Chicken

I love making roast chicken, especially on a gloomy day, preferably a Sunday. The house smells divine and the whole meal is delicious. I made this one with Indian flavors including cilantro and dill. I also added garam masala to the mix which really boosted the flavor profile. If you don’t have garam masala, just skip it and stick with the aromatics. Either way the chicken will be absolutely delicious. read more …
