600g other mixed berries (e.g. blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)

Parmesan-Panko Crusted Halibut

by Pam on October 18, 2012

Our good friend Jake gave us some halibut he caught while in Alaska. This recipe was inspired by my mother in law Fran who makes the best halibut! She normally marinates the fish in an Italian dressing but since I didn’t have any on hand I just used lemon, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper. I then tossed some panko crumbs with Parmesan, fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper then coated the fish in it. I air baked it on high heat until it was flaky and tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. It was truly one of the best halibut dishes I have ever had. The fish was fresh and delicious and the Parmesan panko topping made it extra special.

Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over both sides of the fish then season both sides with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Place a cooling rack on the baking sheet. Coat with cooking spray. Side Note: Cooking the fish on the rack will allow the fish to be crispy on both sides without flipping it over while cooking.

Combine the panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste together on a plate. Dip the halibut in the panko mixture until evenly coated. Place the coated fish on top of the cooking rack.

Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Side Note: This step will ensure the panko coating will stay on the fish.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray the top of each piece of fish with olive oil cooking spray. Place the baking sheet with the fish into the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flaky. Remove from the oven and serve with a lemon wedge. Enjoy.

Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Honey and Balsamic Vinegar

by Pam on October 16, 2012

Can you believe that I have never had a parsnip before? I found a nice recipe on Epicurious^[1] that I adapted and decided to finally try them last night and thought they were tasty. I roasted them with carrots then drizzled a little butter, honey, and balsamic vinegar sauce on top right before serving. My daughter liked the carrots but didn’t like the parsnips and my son didn’t like either… he likes raw carrots but not cooked and he didn’t like the flavor of the parsnips. My husband and I both thought it was a nice side dish that went well with the Garlic Roasted Chicken^[2] and the Smashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives^[3] (we loved these potatoes so much last week that I made them again and they were perfect with this chicken!).

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

Peel and slice the carrots and parsnips into spears. Place them into the baking dish and drizzle the olive oil over them and season with season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place them into the oven and roast them for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.

Place the butter, honey, and balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan and cook over low heat until melted and well combined. Drizzle the sauce over the roasted parsnips and carrots then toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
