MAYONNAISE CRUSTED BAKED FISH

-

This recipe was shared with me about 10 years ago when I was in Key Largo over July 4th.  The person that gave it to me said she was given the recipe by a chef at an upscale seafood restaurant in Miami.  She actually made it one night when I was there and I was in love with it.  I was totally blown away that mayonnaise is used.  I am not a mayo fan but in this recipe, it makes the topping creamy and delicious.  Adding parmesan cheese give it a salt wonderful flavor that does not come out cheesy.  Sometimes I have been known to carmelize an onion and add that in the mix.

 As usual, this recipe is very simple, quick, and easy.  Start with grating some good parmesan cheese and mix that with some mayonnaise. 

Mix it well and then top your fish with the creamy blend.


This recipe I used salmon but I normally use tilapia.  Scott wanted me to use salmon and while I was apprehensive, it turned out delicious on the salmon.

Cook for around 8 to 10 minutes then broil for 3 to 5 minutes until you have a nice brown on top.



MAYONNAiSE CRUSTED BAKED FISH

 Ingredients
  • 3 to 6 fish fillets
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup grated/shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 small onion diced-optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  • Dice onion and saute until caramelized.
  • Mix mayonnaise, parmesan, and caramelized onions in a small bowl making a paste.
  • Salt and pepper fish and apply the paste to tops of fish fillets.
  • Cook at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.  If you are using thicker pieces you may need to cook longer.
  • Switch to broil and brown.  Should take 3 to 5 minutes.
Honestly, this is such a nice way of baking fish.  As I said I normally use tilapia but salmon really was a nice change.

You can some Tony's Chachere seasoning for some creole or cajun flavor.  Also, you can substitute salt with garlic salt for a garlic taste.  I have even used some Italian seasoning in the mix.  

ENJOY!!

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit ...

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   ...

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY PICKLED JALAPENOS

I have struggled to find a recipe to make pickled jalapenos that were nice and crisp.  My pickled jalapenos were mushy and could only be used as a spice, like in chili or some Mexican dish.  I wanted my pickled jalapenos to have a crunchy bite to them.  I wanted to feel the crisp when I bit into it.  Being frugal I could not just toss them out so of course I still used them.   The last few years I have found a way to make sure they are crunchy and nicely crisp.  I use 2 products, Pickling lime and pickle crisp.  Yeah, I double do it but it works!! My jalapenos came at a lark this year.  Our friend Wade gave us some pepper plants that he had started from seed.  I think he felt sorry for us because we did not have a good turnout with our own seedlings.  We thought we were getting scotch bonnet peppers but it turned out we got 4 jalapeno pepper plants instead.  There is a joke behind planting seeds, do not dr...
