Today’s Menu: Baked Grouper w/ Green Beans, Diced Rutabagas, Whole Grain Bread

Another scorcher outside again, 95 -100. We were very lucky in my area. A storm moved throughout Ohio with winds 70 – 80 mph winds. Most of Ohio and our surrounding area has been without power since about 6:00 pm yesterday but where I live we never lost our power.

So for dinner I baked a beautiful Grouper fillet. I tried a new recipe which I left at the end of the post. It’s an easy prepared recipe that contains 6 spices along with butter and lemon juice. For the butter I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. The fillet came out moist and flakey. The spice combination gives it a fantastic flavor! The fillet was big enough that I cut it in half and I’ll have the other half for lunch tomorrow. It’ll make a great fish sandwich.

 

As sides I had Margaret Holmes Diced Rutabagas. If you never had Rutabagas you should give them a try. The taste of the Rutabaga is similar to a Potato and the color of a Sweet Potato. I boiled them and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Black Pepper, and added I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter which I added after it was done. I left the info on the Rutabagas at the end of the post. I also had Green Beans and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with some Dole Frozen Sliced Mangos.

(Serves 1 fillet )

INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoons butter, melted
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley

3. Bake fillets until meat flakes, about 10 minutes. Brush fillets with remaining lemon butter before serving.
