3. Step 3Bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness of filets. 
4. Step 4Serve garnished with parsley, more lemon juice, and pan sauce.

Buttery Alaskan cod

I made fish tonight.  I almost lol followed a recipe to the tee but not quite.  Alaskan cod fillets from Costco and they were very good.

  Allrecipes doesn’t fail.  I only had saltines(they called for buttery crackers).  After I crushed the saltines I added melted butter, onion powder and dried parsley to them.  I used a large zip bag to crush them.  

I Baked the fillets at 400° for 15 minutes after dipping them in butter.  Then I topped them with cracker mixture and baked another 10.  They were very thick..

Served over brown rice pilaf.  Hubby had corn too!  It was very tasty.  No doubt with all the butter🤣🤣🤣!

I don’t usually care for or make fish very often so this was a major accomplishment and it was really tasty.

Making Seafood Marinara!

Updated 10/30/2022

Today pasta choice was hubby’s favorite Fettuccine.

Craving a nice seafood meal?  Try this easy marinara and add shrimp, crabmeat or any prepared seafood of choice.

We love shrimp and when I can purchase good quality large shrimp this is definitely a meal both my hubby and I really enjoy! 

 Happy Cooking!

Marinara sauce is one the easiest pasta sauces to make from scratch..  Using either fresh, or canned tomatoes I make this sauce often because both my hubby and I love it.

Today I made it with canned plum tomatoes and other than having to break the tomatoes up while cooking it made a delicious sauce.  I decided that the sauce was a bit too chunky for my liking so I put it in the food processor to thin it a bit. (or you can use your immersion blender too)  

 1lb. Jumbo cleaned and deveined cooked shrimp ( you can add other seafood favorites too)

1 large can Plum tomatoes cut up or smashed with hands

2T. Butter

1 large onion (1/2 grated and ½ sliced)

1 or 2 cloves garlic chopped( If you like garlic don't hesitate to add more)

½  to 1 tsp. fresh basil or dried

½ tsp. oregano optional

¼ tsp. red pepper flakes

salt and pepper to taste
Freshly grated Pecorino Romano Cheese
Dried parsley for garnish

Saute’ onion , butter and garlic in olive oil  until tender.  Add tomatoes, breaking them or cutting them while adding.  Add garlic, basil, oregano(optional) red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.  Cook over medium heat to bring to a slow boil..

Turn heat to low and simmer until reduced by a 1/3.  Add shrimp and heat for a few minutes.  Serve over pasta.
