Dinner #26: Herb Coated Fish with Cauliflower & Brussel Sprouts

Monday, March 23, 2009: Emily is still not doing any better with her vertigo. Her mother, Dorothy, came in town today to help keep her company and take care of her during the day. In keeping with the standard weekly tradition though, most of what I used for dinner where things we needed to use before they went bad. With that said...

The fish I used was some cod I picked up at Citarella the day before. I had some herbs (cilantro, parsley, & mint) that I needed to use so I chopped a bunch of those up and put them on the fish along with salt, pepper, & lemon. I pan fried the fish in some olive oil which made the herbs slightly crispy.

For the vegetables I ran across this recipe for roasted cauliflower & brussel sprouts with orange in our copy of the Bon Appetit Cookbook. I was actually looking for a recipe for cauliflower panna cotta as Emily & I had been talking about making that (topped with cavier) for a party we're planning in the spring. I didn't find the panna cotta recipe but this one sounded (and ultimately tasted) very good.

Below is the final result. It's pretty green/white so maybe next time I'll actually add the orange segments to give it some color (I just didn't have any extra oranges this time - you'll need 3 total: 2 for juice, 1 for segments).
