Re: What are you having for your dinner tonight?


A note for all you low-carbers.
Do you love/yearn for dauphinoise potatoes? Then try Celeriac Gratin instead. Slice celeriac very thinly, layer it up in a buttered dish with some crushed garlic and black pepper, pour over single cream and bake in the oven.
Yum.
Don't have quantities or time - just half heard this on the radio.
Bon appetit!

Re: What are you having for your dinner tonight?


Donna haddock is very similar in taste to Cod and it has a white flesh, I think it is normally cheaper than cod as well, both of these would be good with a lemon sauce, which you can make with butter, fresh lemon and a little bit of cream.

Crispy Parmesan Fish

1 lb cod fillets
2 1/2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat over to 180 c, oil up a shallow baking dish. Place fish in the dish.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire and onions and spread evenly over fillets.

Sprinkle the fish with the Parmesan and bake uncovered for 30 mins or until crispy.

serves 3, each with 1gm of carbs, 31g of protein.

Donna I quite like Monkfish, it has a very meaty flesh to it, very firm, it is a white fish, although it can be a bit pricey.

Re: What are you having for your dinner tonight?


Salmon with Lemon Dill Butter

4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry dill, or 1 tablespoon of fresh dill (chopped finely)
4 salmon steaks
Olive oil

Combine the butter, lemon juice, and dill, place in fridge to chill

15 mins before dinner, rub each salmon steak on both sides with olive oil. Now cook these under a hot grill until fully cooked.

Place salmon on serving plates, top each with a tablespoon of the lemon dill butter and serve.

Serves 4, only a trace of carbs, 34 grams of protein.

Donna Celeriac is a vegetable, it looks very similar to a sweede. I will see if I can find a picture of one.
