I love eating sole meunière when I’m in a fish restaurant. I always think its so expensive though, so I decided to have a go at making it myself at home. Instead of dover sole you could also use lemon or megrim. This recipe is off the website of the fishmonger where I was born…

Halibut Fillets with a Shrimp, Caper, Lemon and Butter Sauce
Halibut is defo one of my favourite fishes and as it is a flat fish the flavour is beautiful and delicate. It is so meaty and as it is a large flat fish you get a really decent fillet. As it’s not the cheapest fish in the world I do go all out. So drenching…
Crab and Avocado Toasts
So we took the dogs to the coast for their walkies and every time we go down we treat ourselves to a fresh crab as I love them so much. This was our brunch the next day it was so delicious. I really like a mixture of brown and white meat as I think it…
Marinated Sea Bass Fillets with a Tomato, Olive and Caper Sauce
I think sea bass is one of my favourite fishes as it cooks so quickly and tastes so yummy. I decided to go for the Mediterranean vibe on this recipe. I know it sounds weird but it felt healthy eating it. The flavours are so yummy and I literally drank the liquid that was left…
Smoked Salmon and Burrata on Toast with Capers
Oh yes creamy burrata indulgent salmon and lots of pepper. This is such a yummy brunch lunch or light dinner. It would also be perfect for Christmas breakfast. The burrata takes it up a notch along with the watercress and salty capers. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions
Smoked Salmon Pasta with a Caper, Lemon and Parsley Sauce
This is such a great dinner when your tired and just want something tasty and quick. The sauce is great and skinny as you don’t use milk or cream. The flavours are classic, I am so partial to a bit of 80’s parsley sauce and just spruced it up. Ingredients Directions
Tuna and Sweetcorn Potato Skins
I love jacket potato as you can literally put anything on them. I love a certain brand of baked beans with cheese on top. (If they are good enough for our queen consort Camilla, they are good enough for me 😉) My hubby Paulie doesn’t like beans so I had to try something else. Tuna,…
Shrimp Tacos with Avocado, Lime and Coriander Crema
Tacos are my new addiction at the moment I have eaten them out loads of times but only recently started making them myself. They are so versatile you can basically put anything you have in them. As their is only me and my hubby I thought it might be a bit of a faff but…
Miso Tuna Rice Balls in a Garlic, Ginger and Spring Onion Broth
So I was feeling a bit under the weather so wanted a nice ginger broth to boost me up. This worked perfectly, I needed to make it abit more substantial. I raided my stock cupboard and had a tin of tuna and of course rice so decided to make these. The broth and balls go…
Lemon Sole on Polenta with a Warm Sweetcorn Salsa
It’s corn as the song goes. I totally agree it’s juicy and sweet. I had a love hate relationship with polenta and stayed away from it for awhile but decided to try it again thanks to A well known yellow and blue supermarket that has themed country weeks. Yes I like it again and realise…
Crab, Scallop and Prawn Pizza
This is a treat, a posh pizza! It was delicious, I love shellfish and I love pizza so the two together was a delight. I don’t think I would be able to afford it all the time though. As it’s a white sauce it doesn’t overpower the sweet meat and the brown meat in the…
Crispy Calamari with A Salt and Pepper Polenta Batter
I always order calamari when I’m out as long as it’s fresh. My favourite bits are the tentacles. It has to be a really crispy batter and have a good amount of seasoning. They key is for the oil to be smoking and to literally cook it for a max of 2 minutes. These were…
Pan Fried Hake on a Tomato and Chive Beurre Blanc Sauce
Amazing I can’t wait to have this again with different types of white fish. I saw this idea on Saturday kitchen. It looked so amazing I just had to try it. I tweaked it a little bit by adding fish stock instead of wine as I thought it would too be acidic, it worked perfectly….
Hot Smoked Salmon on Wild Rice and Peas
This is such a simple salad but delicious I cooked the rice in stock so it didn’t need a dressing I have found such a good technique which is foolproof for cooking the rice which stops it sticking together. Ingredients 1 fillet hot smoked salmon, skin removed 1 cup wild rice 1 1/2 cup chicken…
Lemon and Pepper Monkfish Medallions with a Hot Lemon Vinaigrette
If you fancy trying a non-fishy fish (I know that sounds crazy) and want to wow guests with something different try this recipe. Monkfish is more meaty and chunky, it is a bit like chicken, it is tasty and sweet but is firm enough to take on spices, you can even use it for a…
