Cod En Papillote

kate — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 23:28:58 +0000

4 cod fillets $15.68
1 lemon, cut into quarters $0.65
1 lemon, sliced into rounds $0.65
1 red onion, sliced thinly $0.65
4 tablespoons butter, divided $0.24
1 bunch green onions, trimmed of roots $0.69
Salt and pepper $0.02

Total Cost $18.58

1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then tear off four pieces of parchment paper and lay them out flat.

2.) Divide up the red onion slices into four equal portions and place a portion in the centre of each piece of parchment paper. On top of the red onion slices, place a lemon wedge. Then place a cod fillet on each piece of lemon. Top each cod fillet with two green onions, a tablespoon of butter and a lemon wedge. Then sprinkle each piece with salt and pepper.

3.) Taking two sides of a piece of parchment paper, bring them up over the fish and then fold them down until the paper is about an inch or two away from the fish. Then twist the ends so that the fish is completely sealed with parchment paper. Do this with the remaining pieces of parchment.

4.) Place each piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and place in over for about 10 – 15 minutes, depending on how big the fillets are. Test to see if done by flaking with a fork. When the fish flakes easily, it is done. When done, put the entire piece of parchment on a plate.

5.) Serve and enjoy!

Beer Battered Fish: Review

kate — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:32:07 +0000

I found this Emeril recipe on the Food Network site. Ideally I’d like to eat fish once a week and, with myself being the only in the family that really likes it, I do have to find ways to make it extra tasty. I really thought that I wouldn’t be able to go wrong with fish n’ chips. But it turns out that I gave myself too much credit. This meal quickly turned into a disaster.

As you can probably tell from the picture, this meal didn’t go so well. And I have no idea what the problem was! The batter was very easy to make and didn’t take long or involve a lot of ingredients. The original recipe did call for cod and I used halibut but I don’t think that would be a big enough difference to turn a wonderful dinner into a big mess. The problems came mostly when I put the fish in the fryer and then, just about anything that could go wrong did.

The biggest problem was that the batter dripped through the basket and formed. This caused the fish to be cooked right onto the basket, making lifting it out extra tricky. Of course when I did that, all the batter came off. Me and Brent both also found that the batter didn’t have a lot of taste. Maybe I didn’t add enough salt at the end or maybe I missed something in Emeril’s Essence when I made it. It didn’t taste bad. It just didn’t taste like anything at all.

Give the recipe a try if you’d like. I hope it goes better for you than it did for me! And let me know what you did if it does!

Salmon with Lemon and Dill: Review

kate — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:10:33 +0000

What I love most about this recipe is that my entire family will eat it! The only concern I actually had was Brent, who thinks that he doesn’t really like fish that much. That being said, I’ve never seen him wince once after eating a piece so he must at least sorta like it. Plus, this salmon is cooked in butter so, who wouldn’t like it?

The other thing I really love about this recipe is that it’s super-easy to make. I don’t even measure out the ingredients anymore, I just use about equal amounts of butter and lemon and go generous with the garlic (although I always go generous with the garlic!) Pour it over and you’re done. The only problem for me often is finding a side dish that will be ready just as quickly!
