Fish Family Favorite

Growing up in New England, I like to pretend that my love of seafood and the ability to cook it just happened naturally. I was incredibly lucky to hear the waves outside my window as I drifted to sleep when I was young, and equally as lucky to have truly fresh seafood on a regular basis. My Mr. was not so lucky. Sure, he's had really fresh seafood! Just not as frequently and consistently as I. He's named of a few times that he and his father went fishing on the East coast. On those occasions, which I can count on one hand, they managed to catch some poor innocent fish and proceeded to savagely cook and eat the scaly dears. I say it this way because, let's be honest, I'm a tiny bit jealous. OK! I'm very jealous. I've been on fishing trips, but I'm just not clever enough to catch anything. I do better with cooking things than catching them. If I lived before the time of grocery stores, I'd surely be a vegan.... or dead. I think I'm glad I don't have to go out and literally hunt for my daily meals. Anyhow! Whilst musing over our fish- related pasts, Mr. went about his computer-ing and I created a new recipe without meaning to. After tasting the result, he promptly dropped his fork, scooped me up and shook me around like a life-size ragdoll, all the while yelling "THIS IS WHY I MARRIED YOU AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW YOU COULD DO THIS!!! WHAT IS THIS?! WWHITEFISH?! HOW DID YOU MAKE IT TASTE SO GOOD?! I LOVE IT! I NEED YOU TO MAKE THIS FOREVER!" I think I reacted rather well for the circumstance. If you know us personally, you've probably fallen off your chair by now. I want to know what our poor neighbors think about us. No, actually I don't. We're probably horrible to live near. We're both loud anyway, but if we get excited about anything the volume inevitably skyrockets. I'm sorry neighbors. We don't mean to. ~Lemon Ginger Braised Whitefish~ 1'peice of fresh ginger, minced 2 large cloves garlic, minced 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 3-4 Tablespoons Lemon juice pinch o' salt 2 large fillets whitefish (literally whitefish, or flounder, or tilapia) parsley for garnish. Heat the ginger, garlic, Olive oil, lemon juice and salt in a skillet. Once liquid starts boiling, add fillets to the pan and cook about 4 minutes, then flip. Cook another 3 minutes and VOILA! I've been making this at least once a week. It's a super light, healthy dish, and yet served with rice and heaping pile of greens? Super satisfying. It's just a happy dish in pretty much every way. Til next time :)
