Baked  Tilapia -  Budget  Recipe

This fish  recipe is low in calories and just perfect  with a low side.  The side I made here in the picture is cuscus ,  I added just a  pinch of low salt  veggie stock to the water just to give it a nice flavor.

I know your Family and Friends will just love it.

Please let me know how your dish turned out and what side did you use. 

*********************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

1 to 1/2 Lbs. - Frozen tilapia  Frozen or fresh. 

3/4 Cups - Bread crumbs 

2 Tbsp. - Cooking oil

1 Tsp. - Oregano

1 Tsp. - Basil

Salt and pepper to taste. 

Options;

- Any other type of fish  

- Any other herbs

- Lemon juice topping 

*********************************************************************************************************

Frozen fish is the most economical budget minded fish that you can buy, because it can be stored for a long time and fresh fish has to be sold right away that's why it is at a low cost. Not that does not mean that you can not make this recipe with any other type of fish, go ahead be brave and just see what you can do to please your Family or friends.  

I like adding the seasoning to the fish in this way for it makes a lot less mess and you can easily wash the bag or toss it. Go ahead and shake and shake it will make you around if you add some music.. After all any exorcise is good.

Here at this stage I added a bit off cooking oil, but you can spray it with those oil spray cans or  just  rub butter to the dish, this is necessary to prevent the fish from sticking. 

If you want you can squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice before that baking process or/and when it is baked.

Fish Curry - An Outstanding Dish

Fish Curry

This Is An Outstanding Dish If You Like Fish With Curry, Here All  Flavors  And Spices   Just Mingle Together   With  A Hint Of Heat.

I must say that I really like to make a lot of Indian dish’s with all it’s  full flavors of the spices and that awesome heat, just bring it on.  Of course when I ‘am  cooking  for my Friends and Family I try to keep the heat at a minimum but  then I add it to my plate to keep me and everyone happy.  

Now with a curry dish you really do not have to go through all the trouble of using so many types of spices. If you want, just pick-up a package of premix curry and  that will do it all for you.  With the mix you do not have to roast the spices,  just add it to water , coconut milk or yogurt and there it is, a perfect  Indian curry dish without all the fuss.  Try it with other meats and see how easy it can be.  

Enjoy…:)    

****************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

1 1/2 lbs. - Tilapia or other fish

1 Tbsp. - Coriander

1 Tsp. - Turmeric

1/2 Tsp. - Chili powder

1/2 Tsp. - Cumin

1 Tsp. - Mustered 

2 to 3 - Bay leaves

4 Cloves - Garlic

1 Tbsp. - Tomato paste

1 to 2 Tbsp. - Lemon juice

1/2 to 2/3  Cup - Coconut milk

Salt and pepper to taste.

Options;

- Omit all spices and use the pr-mix curry powder

- Yogourt instead of coconut milk.  

- 1/3 Cup green onions

- 1/4 Cup parsley 

****************************************************************************************************

When working with the raw spices make sure that you gently roast it on low heat while then mixed with your  garlic and bay leaves to give you a full aromatic flavour. 

Add green onions to the recipe if you like or add plain onions to the pot with the Garlic. Most of the time I use the white part of the green onion at the beginning then the green part at a later part of the simmering. Try your way and see what you like best. 

To make this dish even better and to make my life easier I slice up some wraps and just put them into the toaster and presto the perfect toasted roti bread. 

Try it our way and enjoy, but make extra for I know your Family and Friends will just love it. Don't forget some extra hot sauce on the side for the ones that like it extra hot.

Portuguese Style Fish Soup - Just Awesome.

Portuguese  Style Fish Soup

I brought you back this awesome Fish Soup from a Traditional  Portuguese recipe from my trip. With  all the taste  but none of the work. Normally it would be served  with a day old bread in the bowl and pour the soup, but it goes just great with potatoes or vegetables.

Now if you use fresh fish like the Traditional   way  then you will have to do some work. First remove all the scales and gut it. Separate the fish into parts, the head, tail, and the middle bone will all got into the pot with water and boiled until you get a fish broth in about  40 min's, then strain out the contents and use the broth for your soup stock. The rest of the body can be added to the soup hole, skinless or in pieces.    

Either way, it is just awesome.

Try it, you will love it..

With is recipe, you really can use can, frozen or fresh salmon. Here I am using some fresh fish that I found on special at my local supermarket. 

Sometimes, you can also find some salmon end pieces that are not desirable for frying or baking, but would be perfect for this recipe. After all, you would get more bang for your buck with this savings. 

This is where the secret taste comes from. The slow boil with the fish and all the spices come together into a delightful taste when it is blended with the pasta. 

Make sure at this point that there is no bones in the fish. Here I discard the fish skins, but some like to leave them. It is really up to you.

Remember for this recipe you do not need a premium salmon cut for this to be awesome, you can go for the end pieces that would be at a very affordable price.  It would not make any different towards the presentation or taste. 

This is where the flavor is, so please do not toss this liquid out. If you find that there is some loose particles leftover from the simmering, then just strain it to remove them. 

Just cook it long enough for the ingredients to blend together and the sauce becomes thicker. Remember that the salmon is already pre-cooked at this stage and we do not want to overcook the fish. 

If you find that the sauce became too thick, then just add a little milk at a time until it becomes the way you want it.

Ceviche,  How it came about. 

Ceviche is believed to have originated in Peru or Ecuador. In fact, it was the Inca and Pre-Inca times.

They  had Cities  all over the two Continents connecting them with trails called the "Inca trails"  and had long distance runners that carried the news to each place. Now all they had for food was dried yucca in a leather pouch  for the runners stable food as they ran.

Now when they did stop for another other meal in the Jungles, they found plenty of fish in the rivers and streams and with all the natural citrus trees around, it was easy to put two and two together.

A simply citrus bath with the fish was a great replacement for an open cooking fire for after all  they had no time to waste,  to keep  up the running pace for some City was expecting some "news".

Pan fried Salmon, Simple and Fast.

Here I'am just showing you the simply way on how to prepare and fry the salmon, it will be with  fast creamy topping that is out of this world.

I usually grill it in the oven after I fry the salmon skin down,  but my Friend Adam does not have a Grill oven. Adam this one is for you.

In this Video, I'am just showing you the simply way on how to prepare and fry the salmon. I hope that you try it this way and please let me know how it turned out for you.

                               

*************************************************************************************************************

Recipe ; 

300 Grams salmon
Salt and Pepper to taste.
2 to 3 Tablespoons Olive oil.


Salmon Sauce
1/3  Cup - Mayo or sour cream
2 Tsp. - Juice of a lemon
1 Tbsp. - Mustard, your favorite
1/2 Tsp. - Sugar
Pinch of salt.
Milk added to get it to the thickness you want.

For more information please see videos below. 


*************************************************************************************************************

Here I'am using a fish bone puller that you can get almost anywhere. Now if you can not find one then just use a small pliers. 

Make sure to run your fingers all along the meat side of your salmon and look for bones, believe  me if one is there you will find it. Do not trust the store to have done this for you and there is nothing worse then to find a bone when you are eating.

Place the salmon skin side down on  the hot pan and keep it there to cook without disturbing it until the skin becomes crisp and a bit darker in color.

When this happens you will also notice that halfway up the flesh part on the side that the color has changed. So when these things have happened then it is time to flip over the salmon.

Now that you have flipped the fish and you are not sure if it is cooked through, then just take  the thickest salmon portion on it's side and spread the flesh apart and take a look  inside taking care not to go to far in and split the fish.  The under cooked fish will have a translucent color and a spongy texture. If you see that it is dark inside and it flakes with a fork, well its done.

Also remember that the salmon will still continue to cook for a couple of minute by itself because of the heat in it and  you could overcook the fish.

Now try making my easy and fast salmon sauce that you can find the recipe above and video below or just add any of your own toppings. Anyway you do it. I'am sure it will be awesome.

Please let me know how you made yours...
