Today I had Snapper Fillets on the specials menu. I
really like snapper... not just as something to sell
in the restaurant but also to eat. It's really
flavorsome and it has a very nice texture. I would
prefer it with the skin on, but the fish supplier
already had it taken off. Oh well.
I portioned the fish into 240-250gm fillets. I pan
fried it with a bit of seasoning. And while it was
cooking I had a dollop of kipfler mash potato ready
on a plate, with a drizzling of salsa verde and
balsamic glaze around the side. Then I picked up the
fish and placed it on top of the mash.
Then on top of the fish I placed a spoonful of
Sundried Tomato, Roasted Peppers and Coriander
Salsa. I think it goes well with the dish because of
its tangy taste. And for added aroma I sprinkled it
with fresh lemon zest.
It only took a few minutes to get the Snapper ready,
but Ashley seemed to be preoccupied. After much
persuasion she finally took the fish out into the
restaurant... with her tongue sticking out in
contempt. Then later on, when I had a closer look, I
saw that she turned the little kernels of blue-tacs
on the pass into smiley faces. I think that's her
way of keeping everyone in the kitchen happy. Nice!
