Almond Encrusted Yellow Tail Fish

I went to Market on the Hill Thursday and got some fresh Yellow tail Snapper-YUMMY! 

I paired the fish with smashed sweet potatoes and pan seared brussel sprouts :)

ALMOND ENCRUSTED YELLOW TAIL

Ingredients:

2 servings

3  8 oz. yellow tail snapper fillets

1/4 tsp. sea salt & pepper

1 lemon juiced

 in canola oil over medium heat, taking care not to burn almonds, until nicely browned. Remove fillets and de-glaze pan with splash of white wine. 

4. Add a squeeze of lemon and melt butter in pan juices. 

5. Drizzle over fish and garnish with lemon slices and parsley.

Grilled Cobia

I finally went deep sea fishing and we caught a Cobia, also known as Lemonfish

This is a very mild fish and can be prepared many ways. They say it's one of the best tasting fishes, I would have to agree. The pork chop of the sea. One thing I am learning is not to overdue the spices which would block out the fish taste. This recipe has good flavor, yet you can savor the fish itself.
