Cook it frozen!

 

fish with capers and lemon

 

What a delight to find out that you can cook frozen fish — no thawing needed! Very easy. You all probably knew that already. I’m so happy to learn this I may actually cook fish three times a week as recommended for me by nutritionist Rebecca Snow.

Most recently I cooked frozen salmon fillets in a pan. Delicious. Perfect. If I do say so myself.

Here’s my take on a recipe I saw in the March issue of Oprah. (I wish I could share a link. Looked but could not find.)

Put 4 frozen fish fillets in a bowl with 1 sliced lemon, 1/2 cup Moroccan pitted black olives, 2 tblsp olive oil, a handful of chopped fresh parsley, a red onion sliced, 2 tblsp capers, a shake of crushed red pepper, salt and pepper.

Toss it all around.

Bring a big pan to medium-high heat. Add 2 tblsp olive oil.

Place the lemon slices in the bottom of the pan. Add the fish on top with the rest of the goodies.

Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Flip the fish and cook for another 3 minutes.

Done.

Eat.

Enjoy

Here’s a bonus. The Cook It Frozen website has dozens of recipes for cooking frozen Alaskan fish.

What a revelation!

Love & Light,

Valerie

    Vegetarian here … I do microwave frozen veggies all the time, though!

    Hmm, I should say I WAS too lazy to be a very well-nourished vegan, because of course my program makes me much more nutrition conscious!
