A Fish Story

My friend Dee invited me to take a fish cooking class

at the Viking store with her.

I love fish and have never felt very confident

in my preparation of it.

So, why not?

We had a great time!

Above you can see a lovely Red Snapper

which we stuffed with herbs,

salt, pepper and lemons.

It was then encrusted with a salt and egg white mixture

and baked FAST!

This is Sandra, our instructor,

checking the internal temp of the salt-encrusted snapper.

It was done to a turn

and very delicious!

(To serve the Snapper, you crack the hardened salt shell,

remove it, remove the skin, head & tail of the fish,

and carefully scoop out the lovely fish.)

It was so moist and flavorful.

We also grilled Ahi Tuna on rosemary skewers.

I am used to having C do the grilling - outdoors -

but I purchased one of these stovetop grills pans

and may begin doing this indoors from time to time.

Of course we got to eat what we prepared!

YUMMM!

Below you can see smoked salmon 

served two different ways

plus the Ahi Tuna.

Everything was delicious.

I had no particular favorite

 and hope to prepare them all at home.

We also prepared Potato and Chive-Crusted Cod,

and Prosciutto-Wrapped Grouper Stuffed

with Sun-Dried Tomatoes.

Dee and I don't eat meat, so our Grouper

was wrapped with Radicchio.

It was terrific.
