First Gluten Dairy Free recipe I tried. (It's Fish)
I've cooked fish before but I've never worrried about how I've cooked it. I've used whatever I wanted to season with, butter, flour, etc... things of the past in my case as long as I am on this diet...
I purchased a Branzino fish from FreshDirect, something I never cooked before. A Branzino is a silver-skinned fish found in European sea and saltwater lakes. It goes by many names, including European sea bass, spigola, loup de mer, róbalo, and lubina. It ranges in size from one-and-a-half to three pounds, has a firm, white, delicate-flavored flesh and few small bones. It's a prized fish in Italian, Spanish, and Greek cuisines and is often prepared grilled, roasted, poached, steamed, or braised whole. I winged it in honesty, and it turned out really well if I do say so myself. Check it out!
Marinade for Branzino (also known as the sea dace)
(I'd never made it before I just improvised LOL and it turned out great)
Ingredients:
1/2 c olive oil
1/6 cup lemon juice
dash of pepper
1 tbsp Provencal seasoning (it's a FreshDirect seasoning mix with Sea Salt, Ground black pepper, garlic, thyme, lavender, rosemary, shallots and other spices)
Using large mixing cup, mix ingredients together with a whisk.
I used a lg mixing cup because there is no such think as a 1/6 c
so if you add 1/2 c olive oil then add lemon juice to 2/3 line that is 1/6 c. Got it?
Place fish in large dish (I use larger corning-ware dish)
Pour mixture over fish.
Marinade for 2 hours, flipping fish over after 1 hour for even flavor.
Grilled (Pan Cooked) Branzino
Ingredients:
2 tbsp smart balance spread (gluten/dairy free)
1 lb Branzino head/tail off and butterflied
Place spread in large fry pan/skillet
Let melt thoroughly.
Remove Branzino from marinade and place on skillet skin side up.
Throw out remaining marinade.
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until it starts to brown.
Flip fish over, cook for about 2-3 minutes until skin starts to brown around edges.
Flip again (it may start to fall apart when you try to do this it is how you know it is almost done)
Cook until it seems to be falling off skin.
Remove from heat and p[lace on plates.
I removed the skin once I removed it from heat, as I wasn't sure if I should eat it and I knew History Boy would not. Apparently it depends on your taste, some eat it and some don't. I looked it up after the fact. It's where the rich Omega-3 stuff is. You decide.
