We had homemade chicken soup because Olivia was feeling a little under the weather.
Tonight we're having homemade Pad Thai.
How did you do the halibut? We have an awesome recipe we developed when we were living aboard our sailboat, Zora -and eating fresh-caught fish nearly daily (you can also do it with chicken cutlets pounded thin!):
Fish Chez Zora
fresh fish
lemon or lime
salt, pepper
optional: garlic powder
milk
egg
Panko bread crumbs
oil and/or butter
1) Pat fish dry. Rub all over with a cut lemon or line chunk, squeezing juice all over. Season with salt and pepper. Cut fis into serving-size pieces.
2) Prepare 3 bowls large enough to dip fish pieces in:
first bowl: flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and/or garlic powder
second bowl: beat one egg plus a splash of milk with salt and pepper
third bowl: "panko" bread crumbs (available in many supermarkets' asian-foods aisles)... regular bread crumbs and/or cornmeal is OK but Panko makes the most AMAZING crispy crust!!!!!
3) Heat a large skillet on med-high with oil and/or butter. Dip each piece of fish in flour, shake off excess, into egg wash, then roll in panko crumbs. Saute until done and golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side depending on thickness of fish. If you need to work in batches, keep fish warm in preheated 300 degree oven while you finish.
Serve with lemon wedges and homemade tartar sauce:
mayonaise
sweet relish
chopped onion
salt and pepper
splash of lemon juice
Serve this with the potatoes, and MAN: super yummy!
