Fishie Inspiration!
I have been wanting to try some new fish recipes, and decided to share this one. It's so easy, and delicious! I made a little slide show! What do ya think? Here's the recipe, with a few changes.
yield: Makes 4 servings
In this delicately flavored main course, the asparagus steams along with the fish in individual paper packets.
Ingredients
• 4 15x15-inch squares parchment paper
• 4 5-to 6-ounce Mahi Mahi fillets
• 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into 4 pieces
• 1 pound slender asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 4 tablespoons orange juice
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place parchment squares on work surface. Generously butter half of each parchment square; top buttered half of each with 1 fish fillet. Sprinkle fish with salt and fresh ground pepper; top each fillet with a sprig of fresh rosemary, then a couple small pieces of butter. Arrange asparagus around each fish fillet; pour 1 tablespoon orange juice over each. Fold parchment over fish and asparagus, folding and crimping edges tightly to seal and enclose filling completely. Place on 2 rimmed baking sheets, spacing apart. Bake fish packets 17 minutes. Slide packets onto plates and serve.
It's always a challenge to find family oriented activities here in Las Vegas, but we do try to get out and do something together, just for fun, every weekend. Here is our son, after enjoying a very exciting tour and ride on the historic train in Boulder City. It really was a blast! I think the best part was listening to the volunteers tell stories of the "good old days" when the most common mode of transportation was train...their eyes would just light up with the memories. Our son was totally in awe! Of coures, he did have to ask if the train was haunted...such are the matters that weigh on the mind of a twelve year old boy... :)
