Marinated Fish for Grilling

“SIMPLY AWESOME TASTING !”

Halibut, Chilean sea bass or shrimp work well. In this photo you see thick fresh halibut fillets and fresh sea bass fillets all after having been soaked overnight in a delicious marinade I found at a local market in Santa Monica.

The marinade is an island blend sauce that was perfect. I then topped the mix with a pineapple ring, covered and let sit in the fridge. The ingredients pictured in the pan were thrown on a grill for a few minutes at a local architectural firm for Friday lunch, served with potato salad, grilled shrimp, grilled salmon with a rosemary lemon sauce and a side of mixed fruit chutney and it was simply delicious.

Healthy dieters breakfast

This breakfast is easy and delicious. It may not cure a hangover, but it tastes way better than liver. Take some of last nights leftover salmon and reheat it in a pan. Take some broccoli chunks and lightly steam them. Asparagus is quick and easy to steam too.

Next, whip a couple eggs in a bowl with a touch of milk, water works too, and scramble in a separate pan. Cut some fresh oranges and arrange.

Serve with an english muffin, coffee or another cold beer.

Note: A side of last nights rice warmed up can accompany this dish nicely also.
