Whole Grain Grub

pan seared

I just realized that I never made fish and blogged about it before. Probably because I never really cook fish. But this was the BEST fish I have ever. Ever. Ever, ever, ever made.

And pretty simple actually.

Part 1: The fish

Here’s what you do:

• buy a fresh salmon steak (fresh means it shouldn’t have a fishy smell)
• clean it with vinegar. This also gives it a little flavor
• rub it in a little salt and pepper (both sides)
• heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on med-high just before it reaches it’s smoke point – then add the fish. Cook on one side until it looks crispy then flip over. Also shake it around a little bit. You know, like they do on cooking shows.
• meanwhile the oven should be preheated to about 325
• put the fish on a glass or aluminum tray and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork. It should be around 10 or so minutes. But keep checking.

Part Two: Mango Salsa (Got this recipe from Chef Mu’s cooking demo…or something like it)

What you need:

• mango (soft)
• green onion (maybe 2 or 3 pieces)
• cilantro
• jalapeno pepper (half of one – seeds removed)
• lime (1 or 2)
• garlic (1 or 2 cloves)

What you do:

Chop, dice and mix it all together. Couldn’t be easier. Let the food processor help if you need it to.
