Surinamese Fish Masala

Simple dishes are always best, right? This tasty Surinamese fish masala recipe uses only basic ingredients, plus—and this is a biggie to me—you have it on the table in roughly 15 minutes. What more could you ask for? Now I have to say that I love anything curry—it’s by far my favourite spice to work with—and I especially use lots of it with fish and chicken. Somehow it gives the…

    Baked Cod With Crispy Herbed Topping

    Just to show you how versatile the ranch mix I posted earlier this week really is, I used it as the starting point for this wonderful fish dish. I kinda like the sound of that, fish dish. Anyway, if you don’t like to eat food that’s heavy on herbs, this might not be the right recipe for you or you can always tone it down a notch. The flavors in…

      Easy Cod & Sprouts Casserole

      After my successful sprouts hodgepodge earlier this week, I couldn’t resist publishing another sprouts recipe that I think I got from a women’s magazine some time ago. This one’s even easier and just as tasty. Maybe even more so because I’m a huge seafood fan and the fish seems to make the dish lighter than you’d expect it to be. I followed the directions to the letter. Yeah, I know:…

        Vegetable & Tuna Roll

        I’ve been meaning to try this recipe -or at least try a modified version of it- ever since I saw it printed in a magazine several weeks ago. It seemed so savory, hearty and simple. Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch or lunch or dinner (might want to add a salad). Then life got in the way, but finally I got around to making it. I made a few tweaks,…

          Cedar Plank Salmon

          Trying to cut back on the superlatives just isn’t gonna happen when you taste something as delicious as this glazed cedar plank salmon. I took one of Guy Fieri’s recipes. I adapted it, and then I adapted it some more. After lots of fine-tuning I got to the point where it was exactly right for my taste buds. As if cedar plank salmon isn’t amazing enough by itself, this one…

            Cod with Parma Ham & Asparagus

            And lime sauce! Let’s not forget the lime sauce, even though it’s more like a (warm) lime dressing! I’ve been on a major lime binge recently that I’m sure has nothing to do with the new squeezer. Nothing whatsoever. It’s those simple dishes with only a handful of fresh good-quality ingredients that have the restaurant quality I always look for. Is that the wow factor, simplicity? I think it is….
