Herbed Red Snapper

By 14 Comments

Herbed Red Snapper

We love this Herbed Red Snapper Recipe! We eat a lot of fish for our protein.  We rarely buy fish since we catch our fish and process it ourself.  Then, we know it has been cared for properly and we know the fish is really fresh.

After we process our fish, we freeze our fish where we catch it.  Then shipping it home frozen in a cooler.  We plan ahead and make sure we have a cooler to ship it in.  This snapper was caught in Florida.

We don’t eat much red meat. Fish is our go to for protein.

Becky shares this recipe for  Herbed Red Snapper which she modified from a Big Oven recipe.

Herbed Red Snapper Recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 c olive oil

Fresh lemon juice; to taste

2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary

2 sprigs Fresh Thyme

2 large cloves garlic; finely minced

Lemon wedges; for garnish

1 Red snapper; (2 – 2 1/2 lb)

salt and pepper; to taste

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pat the fish dry and rub inside and out with the olive oil.

Next, arrange the fish in an oiled baking dish and sprinkle with lemon juice then garlic, rosemary, thyme and salt and pepper to taste.

Then Bake for 20 minutes, or until it flakes easily. Transfer to a serving plate, pour juices around fish and garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.

Yield: 2 servings

SAVE the Illinois Poison Center NOW!

Illinois Poison Center Submits Official Closure Notice

YOUR HELP NEEDED

Save the Illinois Poison Center (IPC)

Did you know that the number #1 cause for injuries, hospitalizations and death for 18 – 36 month old children is POISON?

The Illinois Poison Center (IPC) is scheduled to close on July 1, 2014 – leaving Illinois the only state without Poison Control Services! The Senate has passed the ‘2 Cent Solution” and the bill is waiting action.  You can find more information here: http://illinoispoisoncenter.org

Illinois needs YOUR Help, Poisoning of any kind can happen in the blink of an eye.  Residents in Illinois need to have their Poison Control Center open and ready.  Sign the Petition here to Save the IPC!

My personal story of poisoning and use of a state Poison Control Center:

When my son was 3 years old, he was into everything. He even ate the dirt from the potted house plants. I had to put everything out of his reach because saying “no” didn’t seem to mean anything to him.

My parents were to take care of him for two weeks while my husband and I went to Hawaii on vacation. I had told my mom to put everything questionable out of his reach. My mom did do that but, thinking he wouldn’t get into hidden areas in closets, my mom didn’t remove moth balls, which she had in her closets to keep the moths from eating clothing.   My mom was looking for him one day and was horrified to find him eating moth balls, in the closet!!

She called the Poison Control Center for her state and they immediately sent out an ambulance.  The crew followed a poison protocol which they had for “moth balls”.    It was heartbreaking to hear what had to be done and not being able to be there.   But due to the fast response of the Poison Control Center & emergency staff, my son recovered.

Mothballs are nearly 100% active ingredient, and the active ingredient may be either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Each active ingredient can cause different health effects if the exposure is high enough. Mothballs slowly turn from solids to toxic vapor. When you smell mothballs, you are inhaling the insecticide. Mothballs can also be dangerous if they are chewed or eaten. Children, pets and wildlife may mistake them for food or candy and eat them. One mothball can cause serious harm if eaten by a small child.  If someone has swallowed a mothball, call the Poison Control Center for emergency medical advice.  SOURCE

Now what would you do if you lived in Illinois and didn’t have a Poison Control Center to call for help?

Please sign this petition to SAVE the Illinois Poison Center now!

Halibut Veracruz Recipe

By 6 Comments

 

Tempting Tuesday's Recipe: Halibut Veracruz

Another Alaskan favorite, Halibut Veracruz Recipe! Living in Alaska it is hard not to eat Halibut or Salmon weekly.  We catch our own fish so we know how it is processed and how fresh it is.

This recipe Becky at Sew Need It has for us today is made with halibut, however you could use a white meat such as chicken for this meal if you are not into fish.

Becky modified this great meal from a Food Network Recipe!  Remember I told you our family does lots of recipe conversions.  I know you will love this gluten-free dairy-free recipe!

Halibut Veracruz Recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced tomato, or one 15 ounce can
1 medium jalapeno, diced
1 cup dry white wine, or chicken broth
2 tpsp coconut oil
4 (8-ounce) halibut fillets – or chicken
1 tsp salt
½ cup Kalamata olives, cut into thin rounds, plus 2 tbsp olive juice from the jar
2 medium avocados, peeled and sliced
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro leaves

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until lightly colored, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, jalapeno and white wine. Cook until wine is reduced by 2/3, about 5-7 minutes.

While sauce is reducing, heat coconut oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Season fish with salt. When coconut oil is melted, add halibut to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, flip over and then transfer pan to preheated oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Remove sauce from heat when reduced and stir in olives and olive juice.
To serve, divide sauce equally among 4 dinner plates. Place halibut (first caramelized side up) in the center of each plate on top of the sauce.  Place avocado slices on top of fish, sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro as garnish.
