A fish by any other name...

A couple of fish recipes recently completed! Only three left to go

Last night around at mum's I made the 'crunchy herbed fish & potatoes'. What a simple recipe. So easy to make and so quick to cook!
There was quite the discussion with mum however about the length of time Donna recommended for cooking the fish! We decided that her fish must be nowhere near as thick as ours, so we cooked ours for a longer time before we grilled the breadcrumbs on top to make it crunchy ;-)


A good decision too as our Ling was cooked through without being tough.

Um.... about those breadcrumbs though .... well ... I had to have a second attempt as I burned the first lot when I shut the door to the grill. Oops! Apparently you're not supposed to close the oven door while grilling. Mmmm, well I say that each oven is different and it's hard sometimes for me to keep track of which kitchen I'm in and which oven I'm using!
At times I do long for my own kitchen - wherever that may be ;-)

Today for lunch, keeping the fish theme going, I made 'salmon and dill bites' - sans dill! My only excuse here is that I hate dill with a vicious hate! It is just way too strong a flavour for me and when it is used in a dish, that is all I can taste!

So, I used basil instead and they tasted just fine!
