Cajun Snapper with seasonal vegetables. The skin of snapper tastes really fishy so you have to make sure you slice off every little bit of skin or someone will get a mouthful of blech. The bones are easy to pull out with needle nose pliers. I bought a pair at the hardware store for the kitchen. My partner hates it but I haven't found a pretty stainless steel needle nose pliers anywhere. A chef told me he likes Craftsman so maybe I'll give that a try.
I squeezed the juice of half a lemon and dribbled it over the fish and broccoli on the plate. I have an idea for plating. Rather than try to arrange every plate to make it's own statement I plan to start making fancy garnishes to just drop over the food. Hopefully the eye will fooled by a clever garnish that hides carrots, broccoli, mashed potatoes and a hunk of meat. I managed to give myself a concussion yesterday so I'm glad I even got this together. How did I give myself a concussion? I was making cookies and dropped something so I bent to pick it up and the cupboard door was still open directly above my head. I have a nice gash on my head too but the doctor said it would close up on it's own. So I'm taking it easy.
