Hot Crab Dip

7 01 2014
I made this dip for our New Year’s Day party. It was a huge hit. Serve it with pita chips or crackers. The lemon zest in the breadcrumbs topping is a nice accent to the crab.

21 08 2012
I made this as part of a Japanese meal the other night. It was delicious. If you cannot find snapper, substitute salmon, halibut, black cod, grouper, pike or char.

Grilled Mahi Mahi with Slow Roasted Tomatoes and Lemon Oregano Oil

6 07 2011

These slow roasted tomatoes can be served with any grilled or roasted seafood or tossed with pasta or even used as a bruschetta topping along with a drizzle of the Lemon Oregano Oil. I think it is a perfect staple to make ahead and have in your refrigerator to spruce up any meal. Serve this fish with a light rice pilaf or some Israeli couscous or even quinoa.

Grilled Ono (Wahoo) with Mango Salsa

5 04 2011
We have been enjoying a lot of fish on the barbecue this week. We started off with Mahi Mahi and moved onto Ono. Ono is also known as Wahoo and is very popular in Hawaii. It is a very dense fish and is perfect for grilling. I would say it more dense than any of the steaky fishes like swordfish or tuna. This pairs nicely with a tropical salsa or try it with the mango sauce I used on the Mahi Mahi.

Grilled Mahi Mahi on Curried Quinoa with Mango Lime Sauce

5 04 2011

I have found the best fishmonger here in Florida, and I am getting to experiment with all kinds of fish. I think I like to grill fish best. So Mahi Mahi is a perfect fish for on the barbecue. I was inspired by a recipe I found for curried couscous but I think the quinoa is even better. We served this outside surrounded by tiki torches. I felt like I was at a Hawaiian Luau.

Thai Tuna Burgers with Lemon Ginger Mayonnaise

4 08 2010
This recipe has been a hit in my kitchen for at least 10 years. We always pull it out in the summer for a great barbecue. I have served it to people who swear they don’t like fish, and they have completely devoured one of these burgers. Any leftover mayonnaise is good for making Asian style tuna fish sandwiches the next day.

Chili Shrimp with Basil

24 03 2010

When I used to cater, this was one of my most popular appetizer dishes. This is great for a buffet because it can be done ahead of time. This recipe comes from a series of cookbooks I love on fusion cooking by Teri Sandison and Hugh Carpenter. They are beautifully photographed books with delicious recipes. I have entertained for years using their inspirations. This recipe for chili shrimp comes from their Chopstix cookbook. Many of my friends have asked me for this recipe, so here it is finally.
