I realize that I haven’t posted in quite some time but be assured that I have been cooking and eating – I suppose life gets in the way of blogging sometimes.

Following is a dinner I made a few days ago and like always the recipe is a guide and a suggestion – nothing I cook is written in stone.

We have 3 incredibly fresh filets of mackerel – season with salt and pepper and sear skin side down in a hot pan with melted butter.

 

Flip after a few minutes when brown and in the mean time I prepared a lemon – remove the skin and in this way you can cut up the flesh and add to the sauce which adds a nice pop of flavor.

 

 

While the fish is cooking on the flesh side, I added some capers, the lemon wedges, a splash of wine and a little more butter.

I had rice and vegetables that were already cooked and I plated those and then added the cooked fish a top.

 

In the same pan I added some more butter and seared shrimp and a tomato that I had laying around and some sliced red onion.  Cooked the shrimp quickly on high heat and added fresh dill.

I added the shrimp over the cooked fish for color and of course flavor.

 

Voila!  We have a beautiful, delicious and quite a healthful dinner.

I hope you try this simple dish – you can use just about any fish and don’t have to add the shrimp if you don’t want to.

But it sure makes the dish more attractive.

 

Until I cook again!
