Blood Orange Tilapia

I made Tilapia fish with a butter Moro blood orange sauce.
It was a very simple meal cook the fish in butter squeezing the blood oranges over the fish.
Once the fish is out if the pan squeeze more oranges and put the pulp in the pan with the butter and fish juice.

Note: Do not put a juicy orange on your computer. (orange in color or blood . . . its’ a moro as there are several types of blood oranges) I just did this to show the color.

We had it over stuffing with side of Asia cabbage salad mix.

Pollack Fish with Lemon Sauce

Today I made with the planning of my brother Turtle. . .  Pollack fish with lemon sauce and avocado and lemon rice.

Both dishes are very easy to make.
However with fish, especially as fragile and flaky as Pollack you need to focus and make sure you don’t over cook the fish. I only cooked each batch (which I had two batches I made for three people) for only about 5 to 7 minutes once the butter started to bubble and the pan was hot.

I cooked the fish in a fry pan with butter, fresh squeezed lemon, chives, salt and pepper.

After I took out the fish, I used the butter with lemon juice and made a sauce. I let the pieces of lemon cook in the sauce and added tablespoon of sugar  and butter as it was a bit tart.

I cooked the rice (2 cups of uncooked rice to 4 cups water) and once the water was gone and rice cooked completely added  3 smashed avocados and 1/4th cup of the lemon-butter sauce. I also salt and peppered to taste.

It’s a simple, light meal great for a date night, if they like fish.
