IT HAPPENS TO BE MY FAVORITE!


Recipe that is.

When I started this thing, I said I would give you a recipe or two along the way. This is an original DelBloggolo recipe for something I don’t usually like, fish! If it isn’t shellfish, I don’t order it in a restaurant, and rarely make it at home. But this was a self-challenge that works!

Take any white fish-fillet (about a pound) you may, and on a cookie sheet, place a piece of tin foil, and spray it with a vegetable or olive oil spray, but not much. Just so the fish doesn’t stick

Place the fish on it and set aside.

Pre-heat the oven at 350 degrees.

Take a cup of pecans, and grind them down to a breadcrumb consistency, in a blender or chopper. Add about one and a half tablespoons of honey and add it to the nuts. Take one orange, and squeeze the juice into the mixture, and use the rind also.

Remix the mixture. It should be very pasty but spread able. Spread it evenly over the fish.

Bake in the oven for one half hour.

Meanwhile make a combination of small chopped grape tomatoes, about 5 large leaves of Italian basil chopped, and Gaeta olives, and a tablespoon of olive oil. (Extra virgin) Add salt and black pepper.

When the fish is done, spoon the tomato/olive mixture over the fish.

Makes a great dish with white rice cooked in chicken broth instead of water, served with a mixture of Smart Balance spread and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

I'm no fish lover either but I moving more in that direction after too many years of cheeseburgers. Recipe sounds good...I'll try it.
