Trying a new fish fillet recipe

Tweet

Since moving to a condo unit in the city, it’s been a challenge to cook fish. For one, there isn’t a fresh fish market nearby. Second, the one-bedroom unit that we’re renting has but one balcony window that’s at the opposite end of our kitchen. My cooking area has a well-functioning exhaust but that isn’t enough to cancel all the fishy smell that comes from cooking fish, especially if it’s something that would require some frying. Ugh. I’ve tried all sorts of natural and artificial ways to eliminate odor. In the end, the only best solution is to just buy cooked fish dishes from hawkers near our apartment. They’re not bad but they’re not as good as our home-cooked versions. Anyways, as we spend weekends in this big country house, we take the opportunity to cook and eat as much fish as we can. Last Saturday, I finally got to make this fish fillet recipe that I’d been watching on Pinterest. It’s fried breaded cream dory with sauteed tomatoes and garlic in lots of olive oil and topped with freshly chopped basil leaves. I was so surprised to see my younger daughter enjoy it so much – and to think that she used to dislike fish fillet! There’s a few more recipes in my Pinterest boards that I hope to try when we move to a bigger apartment next month. This new unit has plenty of windows to air out the fishy odor. I’m excited to go back to my pescatarian diet again. Have you tried any new recipes lately? How did they turn out?
