I received the below spiced fish bake recipe from my bosses wife and it is a big winner. The herb & citrus orzo recipe below comes from Taste of Home. I love these two recipes and together they make a healthy and tasty dinner.
Spiced Fish Bake:
4 (4-6oz) fish filets (I like Talapia b/c it's cheap :)
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp poultry seasoning
dash cayenne pepper
Place fish in lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle spices evenly over fish and drizzle with 3 tbsp melted butter (or light butter). Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily
Herb & Citrus Orzo
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
8 ounces uncooked orzo pasta
1 can (14 1/2 oz) chicken broth
4 tbsp snipped fresh dill
2 tbsp grated lemon peel
1/2 cup sliced almonds
In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion and mushrooms for 4 minutes. Remove to a small bowl; set aside. Add orzo and broth to skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook 12-15 minutes or until orzo is tender and broth absorbed. Stir occassionally. Add dill, lemon peel, almonds and reserved onion and mushroom mixture to the orzo; heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
I will definitely be making that orzo recipe soon! It sounds delicious. I only have one orzo recipe, but I have tons of orzo because I stock up whenever I see it. This will be a wonderful way to use some of it up. It also has all my favorite things in it it - lemon, dill, mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteYay Anna! You're gonna love it! Mrs. Lawless gave me the fish recipe and it's also a winner :) I'd love any other orzo recipes you have. I'm becoming a big fan of the stuff. You need to start a food blog!!
