Dinner, 4-1-08: Rockfish

Tonight: success!

Actually, not my success. I was otherwise occupied with one of my side jobs; I was cleaning like a dervish. The Husband finished umpiring his junior varsity baseball game and arrived home about half an hour before me, starting the rockfish.

Here's a link to the recipe we used: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/One-Dish-Rockfish/Detail.aspx?prop31=1

The fish was quite tasty, but I'll put a bit more salt and pepper next time. On the side, we had a broccoli salad with a touch of olive oil and vinegar dressing for me - the salad came from a pre-pack and the dressing has egg yolk, a must-miss for me. An extra score for us - the dish was only about 330 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving - the whole recipe gave us two servings of fish. The triple threat of healthy lean protein, delicious taste and filling, low-fat serving makes me feel like this is something that will be on the plate again.

A special note - we did not have any spare veg broth and instead used chardonnay for the cooking broth. The lovely side note is that you can pour yourself a nice glass from the already open bottle to go with dinner. Our chardonnay was a Trader Joe's find and tastes especially like crisp pears. It's a bit of a weeknight treat with dinner.

Cheers!
