This recipe for Heavenly Halibut was a Pinterest find. I loved the catchy title and the chance for another fish recipe I could get excited about.
Unfortunately, our local Walmart did not have any Halibut, so I was already without a main ingredient. I used this as an opportunity to try Swai. Anything labeling itself as a flaky, white fish seemed innocuous enough.
As it turns out, I think I like Swai. The flavor is indeed mild, and to my taste better than Tilapia. It may be what I sub in for a lot of fish recipes from now on.
This is the first time I have broiled fish. (Frankly, I don't broil much. It scares me a little because I tend to do a million things while I'm cooking and broiling requires close attention.) I liked the short cooking time. Mine took a little longer than the suggested 6-8 minutes, but the fillets were still partially frozen. The topping didn't get as bubbly as I'd like, but I may have hurried things along in order to get dinner on the table.
For fish, I like this recipe and it's quick preparation. The little one gave it her seal of approval, so I probably will make it again, especially if I'm looking for a good way to save on calories.
I wanted some kind of a carby side to go along with our fish. We've had a lot of rice and pasta here lately, and some fresh bread sounded good. A can of pizza dough at the back of my fridge prompted me to find and make these knockoff Easy Pizza Hut Breadsticks. Instead of olive oil, I used butter. They were deliciously buttery and salty (too salty for the five and a half year old), and we couldn't get enough.
