Pan-Fried Fish with Bell Peppers

I found this recipe from a cookbook I bought a few years ago. This is a wonderful tasting dish that is easy to cook and makes a great meal especially when serve with rice.


PAN-FRIED FISH WITH  BELL PEPPERS
Prep and cook time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

1 walnut sized piece of fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves
2 red chilies*
1 green or red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
6 scallions (spring onions)
4 sea bass*, (cleaned, scaled and heads removed)
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
Lemon wedges, to garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Peel and cut the ginger into matchsticks. Crush the garlic. Finely slice the chilies, peppers, discarding the core and seeds. Cut the scallions (spring onions) into thin strips.

2.Using a sharp knife, slash the fish skin 2-3 times and season with salt and pepper.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy-based skillet (frying pan). Add the fish and fry for 5 minutes or until the skin is very crisp and golden. Turn over, cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

4. Heat the remaining oil in another pan, add the ginger, chilies and peppers and fry for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat and toss in the scallions.

5. Splash the fish with a little soy sauce and serve topped with the pepper mixture, garnished with lemon wedges.

Enjoy!

Notes: 
*I used 3 big gray mullet fish
*I omitted the use of red chilies (for my kids' sake)

Skillet Seared Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

We are a salmon-loving family. It is our favorite fish/seafood. We love it so much that we eat it on a regular basis. This is another simple, easy to make recipe that requires minimal ingredients and it is ready in 20 minutes. The seared fish and the garlic lemon butter sauce...ohhh, seriously delicious!


SKILLET SEARED SALMON WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

INGREDIENTS:

4 (6 oz.) skinless salmon fillets (about 1-inch thick)* 
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, diced into 1 tablespoon pieces
1/2 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

To make the garlic lemon butter sauce:
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until lightly golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Let sauce simmer until reduced by half (to about 3 tablespoons), about 3 minutes. Stir in butter and whisk until combined. Set sauce aside.

Remove salmon fillets from refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. 

Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering add salmon and cook about 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown on bottom then flip and cook salmon on opposite side until salmon has cooked through, about 2-3 minutes longer.

Plate salmon (leaving oil in pan) and drizzle each serving generously with butter sauce, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately.


Enjoy!

*Note: I used salmon fillets with skin on.
