Fish Taco with Mango Salsa
I recommend this dish. It was easy, took very little cooking so it’s perfect as a summer dish…and it will get your taste buds tingling with the lovely mix of flavors from the Mango Salsa which I earlier posted about. Spouse didn’t quite get this dish at first. But after his first one, when [...]
Daing na Bangus
As I was saying in my previous post, I finally made Daing na Bangus in Colorado when I found milkfish that actually came from the Philippines. The term “daing” is a manner of preparing fish and seafood. It can be salted and sun-dried or in this case, simply marinated in a vinegar marinade [...]
Cedar Plank Salmon
A Canadian friend of ours gave us two cedar planks for grilling salmon on. That was about 2 years ago. For one reason or another, we never tried to do the whole “grilling on a plank” thing….it just seemed like too much fuss. But the grill was hot from our Fourth of July [...]
Salmon Frittata
Here’s another recipe based on a similar one from the Alaska Seafood website I mentioned in a previous post. The original recipe has a more Southwest flavor, which I’m not particularly fond of. So I made adjustments and came up with something different. Here’s the frittata all puffy and hot from the oven…
Salmon Tetrazzini
When you mention tetrazzini, you get visions of pounds and pounds of turkey sitting in your refriegrator days after Thanksgiving. You normally would not associate tetrazzini and canned salmon…but it’s a great way of serving fish to your family. We all know how good Omega-3 fatty acids are for our health. It’s not [...]
Oyster Cake
I first tried this dish at a small Chinese restaurant somewhere around the Timog/Circle area of Quezon City. For some strange reason…like a failing memory…I cannot recall the name of the place! It was a favorite lunch choice of my officemates and I, quite affordable and consistently serving good, simple Chinese cuisine. I heard they [...]
Tuscan Grilled Trout
I found an interesting fish recipe that had two classic Filipino flavors: vinegar and garlic. There are so many Filipino dishes and food preparations that are essentially nothing more than garlic and vinegar. There’s paksiw, longganisa, vinegar dips for almost anything – all with plenty of garlic. Even the popular adobo can be cooked [...]
Spaghetti with Mussels
Mussels with my spaghetti is something new to me….oh, but I loved it! It was another great way of serving pasta which I stil have to get over. The lemon juice was a nice contrast to the sweetness of the mussels and tomatoes…the garlic gave it just the right kick and the parsley added freshness. [...]
