Orange Roughy Update

Just a small adjustment to the last recipe...add langostino (from TJ's) and shallots to the white wine reduction (with creme fraiche). To quote Ken, "This dinner was really awesome!" Trader Joe's asparagus risotto and spinach perfectly complemented the fish.

Lamb Center Chops & Asparagus Risotto

These were the rest of the chops from Costco and this time, I just marinated in olive oil and garlic, seared on both sides and put it into the oven for about 15 minutes. I made a red wine reduction sauce. As for the sides, I stir-fried the rest of the TJ's frozen asparagus risotto and spinach cooked in the lamb drippings with garlic. And of course, I only remembered about taking the picture after we ate our meal. This time, I even had the camera sitting on the table!

Orange Roughy

Costco has these packaged frozen orange roughy that make eating fish much more convenient than running out for fresh ones whenever you want any. My mom had gotten some and really enjoyed their taste. Orange roughy is a mild white fish and easy to prepare. I marinated it in olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro and onions (leftovers from taco night) for about 30 minutes, then baked them for about 30 minutes. I topped it with a white wine reduction and the remainder of the marinade, and served garlic green beans on the side. I should have also served this asparagus risotto from TJ's but forgot about. Ken really enjoyed the fish so it's a keeper, especially since we still have lots of it left. Note for future reference: Cook up an extra fillet because one wasn't enough for Ken.
