Finger Food & Fish

Foodblog-0732

Mornin’ friends! After a few days of pumpkin in loaf form, it was time to have it in creamy oatmeal form again.

Foodblog-0740

This was the perfect bowl topped with banana (rather than putting it inside), homemade granola and almond butter. Super filling! My other breakfasts fill me up, but nothing does it quite like oatmeal.

Foodblog-0737

Ethiopian Decaf love –

Foodblog-0741

Foodblog-0734

Later on for lunch, I made a deconstructed sushi roll in a bowl

Foodblog-0747

Layers of cooked wakame sea-veg, sushi rice, bell pepper slices, smoked salmon, goat cheese, avocado and almonds. Marcona almonds are SO buttery good!

Foodblog-0746

This bowl was delicious and fun for lunch! Took me 2 minutes to put together.

Foodblog-0742

After a hard run and Pump, my only workout goal today was to walk, so Mazen and I did about 3.5 miles around town, including a visit to the bakery! I love to walk in unannounced and see how excited Matt is to see M in the middle of the day.

Foodblog-134721

If only all fingers tasted this delicious!!! This is how he fell asleep.

Foodblog-141945

Sometime this afternoon I ate a quick mug of cereal. No time for photography, as my hands were full!

I am absolutely delighted that Alaska Seafood sent me some Wild Alaska Halibut (and Wild Alaska Black Cod) as an effort to spread the word on these delicious fish and Alaska’s sustainable and responsible fishing.

Foodblog-0752

The fish came frozen on ice from a retail store in Anchorage. While I peeked at the prices and they aren’t your grocery store fish sale prices, this would be a great way to get a season’s worth of fish dinners neatly tucked away in the freezer and ready to eat. A bonus knowing it’s all from a great source. I almost always buy frozen fish because I find it easier to manage in my meal plan and kitchen. I buy my regular wild salmon and herby chicken from our local butcher both in freezer friendly packs, which makes them so convenient to pull out the night before and thaw. {You could also easily do this yourself with either one of those vacuum pack machines or a good plastic wrap and/or airtight container system}

Alaska Fish

Halibut is one of my very favorite fish – I love how it’s firm but still flakes off into big chunky slices. It’s neutral enough that you can cook it just about any way imaginable.

According to Alaskaseafood.org:

“All Alaska Seafood is wild and pure, responsibly managed for continuing abundance. Alaska provides the largest supply of domestic halibut, which is strictly regulated through seasonal harvest and the exclusive use of longline gear. Alaska has pioneered the standard for sustainable, eco-friendly fisheries management… Unlike many of the world’s other fish populations, Alaska’s are managed for protection against overfishing and sources of habitat damage.”

Since I am a hugggggeeee seafood fan, this makes me happy to read.

Foodblog-0760

For our recipe tonight, we used a blackening spice (a generic one) and coated the fish with a generous amount. We filled our stainless steel skillet with a few tbsp of safflower oil (for its high smoke point) and seared one side of the fish until a nice crust had formed. Then we flipped it and put it in a 400* oven for about 10 minutes, or until the fish flaked with a fork. This fish cooking method never fails!

Foodblog-0749

Nutritionally, Halibut is low in calories (140 per 3.5 oz serving), high in protein (27g) and has 460 mg of omega-3s.

Foodblog-0755

While we were hovering around the fish, these Brussels sprouts were practically burning!!

Foodblog-0750

I thought they were goners, BUT, they actually turned out incredible!! Brussels sprouts chips a la kale chips! They were crispy and just barely charred. I’m going to “burn” them again soon.

Foodblog-0753

They were coated in olive oil and smoked paprika and roasted at 400* for too many minutes to count.

Foodblog-0757

Cville Crunch bread on the side.

If you missed bedtime on Twitter/Instagram last night, here’s the cutie saying sleep tight all!

    Are Marcona almonds easy to find in stores or do you have to special order them? I love snacking on almonds and pack a few each day for an afternoon snack and would love to try them!

    Dinner looks amazing! Still trying to get mini-me to eat some fish. I have been looking for a firm fish other than just cod. I really want to try Chilean Sea Bass but its always expensive.

    S/n: I love the “bag” Mazen is zipped up in. It looks so warm. Like a little sleeping bag. Do you also have the plastic see-thru cover that protects against wind/rain?

                I was just at TJ’s and they no longer carry the lavender pepper. Although they did have a sea salt set (pack of 4 flavored salts) that had a lavender salt.

                But I did pick up the macarona almonds (roasted/salted and the rosemary). I tried the R/S and they are delicious, so buttery.

    Apparently it’s so much healthier to buy fish frozen. By the end of 24 refrigerated hours, fish has already decomposed a significant amount, even if it’s not immediately obvious to you. Since frozen fish is usually caught and dropped right into a freezer case, it’s actually much better for you. I wish this brand was sold near me.

    As for oatmeal, I find it only fill me up if I put lots of good toppings on it. Banana-peanut butter-chocolate oatmeal seems to work best. I know the fiber’s supposed to be the most filling part, but as a vegetarian I feel like I eat a lot of fibrous foods. Do you find that it’s the toppings too?

    What an “amazin” smile your little man has! And thanks for reminding me about halibut, I’ve been in a salmon loop for too long. When we lived in New England is was much easier to find, that and cod and scrod were mainstays. I would use either 3 in fish stews as they didn’t fall apart and could stand up to complex flavors.

        I think we steamed them one time and then sauteed them the other. It’s just getting past the actual flavor of them that is hard for me. I’m not a big cabbage fan and it reminds me of that.
        Your roasted ones look really good, though. Maybe I need to give them another try. It’s probably one of those things that just need to be prepared right.

          Yeah I don’t really care for them steamed. Make sure you cut them down in half or quarters and really cook them through. I don’t love cabbage either and when they’re raw they do taste like it

    I’m interested to know your thoughts in the area of the decreased nutritional value of burned or over-cooked foods. I’ve always heard that excessively charred meats are carcinogenic and while I don’t think the same holds true for vegetables, I do believe their nutritional content declines significantly.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      December 12, 2012 at 7:10 pm

      I have heard that too about charred meats. But I’ve also heard that pairing them with an herb (like rosemary + lamb) cancels out the effect. I think this is more about char over a fire, but I could be wrong on that one. I’m not sure they clarified what kind of char.

        It’s their price per pound that gets me. If it included shipping, it’d be one thing. But it doesn’t unless you order at least 8 pounds worth – which is easy enough to do but it doesn’t even out unless you order a lot more than that. I’ve had halibut, salmon, and crab shipped for local prices. Yes, I pay for shipping ($50-70 to overnight it because you have to), but you shouldn’t pay more than $20 a pound for halibut.

    I’m trying to eat more salads and I noticed that you try to eat one daily but I don’t see a mention of dressing. Do you have one that you use regularly or do you go without?

      I just use a drizzle of olive oil, honey or both. I don’t really like salad dressings or vinegars that much – or really anything acidic on my salads. In a restaurant, yes, but not so much at home. Plus a drizzle of EVOO is a lot easier than making my own salad dressing and a lot faster, so it’s a convenience thing too.

    That sushi bowl looks unusual! We don’t have sushi with goat cheese or almonds around me. Glad you enjoyed it!

    I get Marcona almonds at Costco. Their prices are great and Marcona almonds can be really expensive. Now if only they carried chia seeds…

    Oatmeal + almond butter = guaranteed fill factor for me, too! Isn’t it nice to know you can count on that? 🙂

    He certainly is gorgeous and such a wonderul gummy smile. Enjoy every moment, it all goes way too fast. I only cook my brussell sprouts in the oven, only complaint is the smell it creates in the house even with the exhaust canopy on – they taste better than they smell.

    Growing up in Alaska, I gotta say that nothing beats the halibut and salmon. It is top notch. I am amazed at how much they are charging per pound, however. It must have something to do with the shipping to the states? As with most places, local is always cheaper so I am sure they don’t charge that in the stores. Still, it is so good! I live in Santa Cruz, California now and I will say that my husband and I miss the fish. Fishing was a fun part, too!

    Your brussel sprouts actually look quite tasty, though a bit charred! 🙂
