As many of you who are regular visitors here know, I am always in search of delectable fish recipes. In an effort to lower cholesterol and maintain a healthier lifestyle, our family has been trying to eat fish at least three times a week. This has at times caused great debate and consternation among the ranks who are not HUGE fish lovers. So if there was a way to bring in another beloved food group to enhance the little swimmers, than I am game.
Enter from the lovely dairy section of the food pyramid. Ahh sweet Parmesan, or should I say salty. This was a wonderful combination of delicate fish with a strong compliment of cheese. I have to say though, it did not over power. It crusted beautifully in the broiler and added a nice crunch to the fish. It received a two thumbs up from Jerry and one and a half from Jonathan. I loved the easy preparation and the fact that it complimented the risotto I wanted to serve with it.
Have fun and let me know what you think. This recipe is from the wonderful LeAnn Ely of "Saving Dinner" fame. It's wonderful for the waist line as well.
Bon Appetite!
