Wednesday's Without Uncle Steve*...?

Ok, I know, I know... technically unless it's Tuesday, every night is a night without Uncle Steve unless we have a family weekend gathering, and then all bets are off.
So, that being said, tonight I decided to not only make a fabulous dinner for myself & Ruby, but to invite my father to join us (my Mom wasn't keen on the menu) and not only did we have a great time, but you know I took pictures & am prepared to share with you all the recipe, which is not only simple, but TASTY!

I give you:
Fresh Haddock Fillets with Ginger Soy peppers & shallots over sushi rice.
(aka: sticky rice according to Ruby)

Ingredients:
2 fresh fillets of haddock (skin on)
1 red pepper
1 orange pepper
3 good size shallots
2 cloves of garlic
soy sauce
fresh hunk of ginger, diced
(ginger powder can also be substituted)
1 cup uncooked sushi rice (prepared according to directions on package)
extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper to taste.

Directions: In large skillet, go several times round the pan with some EVOO.
Thinly slice both peppers & shallots and finely chop the garlic.
Add all veggies to pot & stir occasionally.



Prepare 'sticky rice' (aka: sushi rice) & have ready on back burner.



Once veggies start to cook, add to skillet several shakes of SOY sauce
& salt & pepper as well as ginger.

Once veggies are done, remove from pan & cover over, set aside.


In same pan, go few more times around with some EVOO and gently place fish SKIN SIDE DOWN, lightly salt & pepper & cook for five - eight minutes.



Once time's up, gently turn fish over to cook on the other side, for approx 4-5 minutes.



When done, plate the meal as follows:



Generous helping of sushi rice in center of plate.
Big spoon full of sauteed soy ginger veggies over rice being sure to add some of the sauce from the pan to coat the rice a bit as well.
Last but not least, place a piece of fish on top of that & garnish with the stray pepper or shallot & drizzle some EVOO on top of fish as well as a few additional shakes of soy sauce.


Serve with wine or beverage of choice & ENJOY!



THIS WAS SO DELICIOUS EVEN RUBY CLEANED HER PLATE & ASKED FOR MORE FISH!


hehehehe smart girl my baby is!

*Uncle Steve would not ever partake of this dish either as he LOATHES FISH.
Another good reason to have this meal on a WEDNESDAY!
