Heartwings Love Notes 816 - Simple, Inexpensive Fish recipes

Heartwings says, "Fish is good food for us all."

Increasing amounts of information is has come out about how good fish is for you. Many believe they don't like it because they have not had it cooked properly. White fish takes very little time to cook: one of my recipes takes about 15 minutes or so and the other between 25 and thirty. You will surely have all the ingredients on hand in your kitchen as well. I so dislike seeing an intriguing recipe only to discover one or more of the ingredients have to be bought from a specialty market.

Two of our favorite kinds of fish are flounder and cod. I used to think cod was only good for chowder until I created this recipe for it. It also makes use of corn chips that didn't get eaten while fresh. Stephen crunches ours up. Children love to do this too. Stephen and I usually dine well on around a pound or a bit less of fish of either variety. It's nice to have fresh fish, however the flash frozen is almost as good. I do not fry fish, thus avoiding odors and extra fat.

Baked Cod with Crumbled Corn Chips

Preheat oven to 350 or 325 for a glass dish.

Ingredients: for 2

¼ to 1/3 cups ground corn chips
A pound or so of cod
Around ¼ cup good mayonnaise. Do not use low fat
1 TBS so of horseradish sauce. It adds a bit of "sass" to the fish

Method: Lay fish flat in baking dish. Mix up Mayonnaise and Horseradish sauce, spread evenly over cod. Bake in oven and depending on thickness of fish check after 20 to 30 minutes. Fish should flake away easily and have lost its transparency. Serve with broccoli and a simple salad or coleslaw.

Poached Flounder Filets

This cooks quickly, so have the rest of your dinner ready before adding the fish.

Ingredients:

2 cups water
¼ cups diced celery,
2 Tbs diced onion
OR if in a hurry, dried onion and celery seed about 2 Tbs each)

1 pound flounder filets

Method: Use a large frying pan. Bring water to a boil and add vegetables, fresh or dried. Let them simmer for 15 minutes or so for fresh less for dried. Then lay flounder filets in pan and turn over after 3 or 4 minutes. Serve with spinach and a salad or squash.

May you enjoy your cooking, whatever you make.
