Well, we'd planned to have a ham and gruyere bread pudding tonight until M remembered that today is Friday and it's Lent. Yep, we're among the group that still does fish (or vegetarian most often) on Lenten Friday's. Back to the drawing board for dinner. Luckily, this fish recipe has been on our radar for a while, so we had a ready idea. In the end it was good and easy, but not amazing. The sides were definitely the stars of the show and that's a pretty clear indication that, while good, this won't make it back into the rotation.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Red onion, garlic
Time: 25 minutes
Make ahead: I would definitely do the fish last minute, but you could do the onion sauce ahead.
Reaction
J: "Good, but not transcendent."
M: "Fragrant, but thin."
Mn: "A tasty Lenten meal."

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
