So, I just accidentally deleted this post, which had been up for a few days and I don't really remember what I had said about it. So, I'll do my best!
This was inspired by a recipe I cut out from Cooking Light recently that just seemed perfect to serve to M's mom who is in town as of today in preparation to take care of T while M and I take a few days of vacation. The original had a rice recipe with it that we eliminated and we've changed the salsa some. We were all very happy with the results. The oranges and parsley make a lovely counterpoint to the fish. It all tasted very springy and felt like a festive meal to share with company.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Broccoli rabe, garlic
Time: 35 minutes
Make ahead: You could make the salsa ahead, but I would do the rest last minute.
Reaction
J: "So spring!"
M: "100X better than a fish fry."

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
