The secrets to a really tasty piece of blackened fish are 1) a really tasty Creole seasoning, and 2) not overcooking the fish. I use a slightly modified version of Emeril’s recipe for Creole Seasoning – because he should know, right? The seasoning is easy to make fresh with your own spices, and it’s really… Continue reading Pan-Seared, Blackened Flounder

Zucchini Noodles with Beurre Blanc Sauce
Who’s a fool for sauce? I don’t know about you, but if there’s a sauce or condiment I can drench my food with, I will do it. My husband, not so much. Not too long ago, I made some salmon patties and asparagus – and on a whim, whipped up a quick lemon-butter sauce to… Continue reading Zucchini Noodles with Beurre Blanc Sauce
Oven Roasted Salmon with Parmesan-Mayo Crust
Recently at the Saturday morning farmers’ market in Decatur, we picked up some fresh eggs from a local farm. You might ask, “now what does that have to do with salmon?” Thanks for asking, because I’m having a heck of a time getting this post started! Well, I’m not a big egg-eater so I needed… Continue reading Oven Roasted Salmon with Parmesan-Mayo Crust
Lemon Marmalata
In my hunt for interesting cookbooks at used book stores, I recently picked up The Young Man and the Sea : Recipes and Crispy Fish Tales from Esca, by David Pasternack and Ed Levine. This book covers a pretty wide range of seafood and cooking techniques, from preparing soups to grilling, roasting, pan-frying, poaching, and… Continue reading Lemon Marmalata
Pan-Fried Catfish
Here we are – with “Frying, Revisited”. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not much of a fry cook. The last effort ended with a smoky, greasy mess in the kitchen – and that was just me! However, I’m glad I made another attempt because this catfish was “right tasty”, as Southerners might say. We wanted… Continue reading Pan-Fried Catfish
Baked Flounder with Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
I grew up eating a lot of flounder – – fried. Served with fried shrimp and fried hushpuppies. (If you don’t know hushpuppies, you surely haven’t eaten at a fish shack or BBQ joint in North Carolina. I love hushpuppies – and I hope I can figure out some gluten-free way way of making them… Continue reading Baked Flounder with Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
Red Curry Poached Cod
Sometimes dinner is born from what’s on special at the market – and often those dishes turn out to be the most interesting because they are unplanned and must be created from ingredients you have on hand. We try to have some type of seafood at least once a week, and this week Whole Foods… Continue reading Red Curry Poached Cod
Salmon with Roasted Peppers and Asparagus
We don’t go out to eat a lot, especially since we stopped eating grains. People give you strange looks when you request “no bread, please”, or order Chinese food without the rice. “Without the rice?” Incredulously, “Are you sure, no rice?” It seems beyond comprehension. However, last weekend we were out doing errands and decided… Continue reading Salmon with Roasted Peppers and Asparagus
Seared Tuna with Mixed Greens and Lemon-Tahini dressing
A week or so ago, I was rushed for time at lunch, so I picked up a little tray of seared tuna from the sushi station at Whole Foods and I ate it at the kitchen counter while unpacking my groceries. To paraphrase Ulysses Everett McGill in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, that small taste… Continue reading Seared Tuna with Mixed Greens and Lemon-Tahini dressing
Salmon with Chipotle-Lime Glaze
As we enjoyed this meal, it occurred to us that it might be the healthiest combination of food ever! Not that it really mattered, because it was quite tasty and we would have eaten every bite even it it was chock full of benzene and trans fats. Well, not really…we do try to avoid foods… Continue reading Salmon with Chipotle-Lime Glaze
Salmon with Pesto Crust
According to Marcella Hazan, noted author of many books on classic Italian cuisine, pesto is the sauce invented by the Genoese as a vehicle for the fragrance of basil, and it has just ONE role – “to be the most seductive of all sauces for pasta”. Does that mean that primal eaters have to forsake… Continue reading Salmon with Pesto Crust
Red Grouper with Chili Lime Glaze
This is more of a product review, perhaps, than a recipe. When I was shopping for fish, I noticed that Whole Foods had grouper that was already covered in a marinade of some type…and it looked pretty tasty. Since I wasn’t buying to cook on the same day, I asked what they used for the… Continue reading Red Grouper with Chili Lime Glaze
