Who dat
A whole month. That's the longest pause we have had around here. Fortunately I have 3 recipes that I will be posting the next few days so that won't happen again soon.
Fish. I have always found fish that is not fried to be pretty damn boring. And ever since I got really sick after Jenn and I made our own fried fish, I haven't really craved the stuff. When I was a kid my mom would make us red snapper all of the time and when we were in the store the other day I noticed that the snapper was on sale and Jenn said that she wanted to find a recipe that would feature our new, soon to be eaten, friend. Here is what she found.
Red Snapper Vera Cruz
4 Red Snapper fillets (4 ounces each)
1/4 cup fresh Lime juice
1 Tbsp. fresh Lemon juice
1 Tbsp. Chili powder
1 Plum Tomato, coarsely chopped
4 Green Onions chopped
1/2 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
Cilantro for garnish
1/2 cup of chopped Anaheim Pepper (optional)
- Place red snapper in a shallow baking dish.
- Combine lime juice, lemon juice and chili powder in measuring cup. Pour over snapper and let it marinate for 10 minutes, turning once or twice.
- Sprinkle onions, tomato and peppers over snapper. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or just until snapper flakes in center.
- Let stand, covered, 4 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
I really enjoyed this. The vegetables that cooked on top of the fish really helped add a lot of flavor. Seems really easy to prepare as well. Lately I have been noticing how much I enjoy chili powder also. Seems to be an ingredient in a lot of dishes that I enjoy.
On a systems note, I'm am thinking of removing the commenting section of this here site. I have been getting a lot of spam lately and have tried a few ways to filter it that just aren't working well. I really don't want to have to ask people register at some site and I think that is my last option. I figure that just removing it is the easiest way to deal since there are hardly any comments as is and most of the people that do comment also have my e-mail address. Hope y'all don't mind.
