Curry up and make this tonight!


I am so into curries lately! I wanted something fast and delicious, so this is what I can up with.....Now, don't cook a curry all of the time or your house will stink. But occasionally, it smells like heaven!

Lemon Curry Flounder, Redfish, Cod, Halibut.........you get the picture!
Melt about a stick of butter in a hot skillet set on medium heat. Season your fish du jour with salt and pepper. As soon as the butter turns golden, add the fish to the pan. Sautee until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn the fish over with a fish spatula and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and keep it warm. To the sautee pan add 3/4 tspn. of curry powder, 3 tablespoons of capers rinsed and drained, 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley chopped, 1 tspn. of chopped garlic, and the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon. Sautee for 1 minute and spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.

This is so easy that if you can't do this, don't admit it. Seriously. Serve it with a fresh vegetable or some crispy cauliflower.

Crispy Cauliflower
1/2 head of cauliflower broken up into florets
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup of all purpose flour
1 egg lightly beaten
Veggie oil for frying
sea salt
cayenne

Blanch the cauliflower for 2 minutes and then plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain, and set aside. In a bowl stir up the cheese and Panko. Dredge cauliflower in the flour, then the beaten egg, and then the cheese Panko mixture. Fry in 2 inches of hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sea salt and cayenne. Holy crap, this is good.
