I have been eating more fish lately. And trying to find good, healthy recipes for fish. I found this one online awhile back. I did not make it up (altered it a bit for me though):
\n
\nFish fillets with olives and oregano:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n 4 (1 1\/4-inch-thick) pieces white-fleshed skinless fish fillets, such as halibut or tilapia (6 oz each)
\n 1 teaspoon salt
\n 1\/4 teaspoon black pepper
\n 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
\n 4 very thin lemon slices
\n 1\/2 cup dry white wine
\n 1\/3 cup pitted brine-cured olives, halved lengthwise (2 oz) (original recipe called for green but YUCK so I used black)
\n 1 to 1 1\/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
\n 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano or 3\/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled (I opted for fresh)<\/p>\n

PREP:
\nPut oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear fillets, skinned sides down, until browned well, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer, seared sides up, to baking dish (reserve skillet), then top each fillet with a slice of lemon.<\/p>\n

Add wine to skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits. Boil 30 seconds, then pour around fish. Scatter olives around fish and bake, uncovered, until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

Transfer fish to a platter, then whisk lemon juice, oregano, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil into cooking liquid in baking dish. Season sauce with salt and pepper and spoon over fish.<\/p>\n

EASY! Also made…<\/p>\n

Roasted Brussels Sprouts: (i found this recipe over Christmas)<\/strong>
\nIngredients:
\n 1 1\/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and yellow leaves removed
\n 3 tablespoons olive oil
\n 1 teaspoon kosher salt
\n 1\/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n

Prep:
\n Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
\n Place trimmed Brussels sprouts, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal tightly, and shake to coat. Pour onto a baking sheet, and place on center oven rack.
\n Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, shaking pan every 5 to 7 minutes for even browning. Reduce heat when necessary to prevent burning. Brussels sprouts should be darkest brown, almost black, when done. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n

And then I made some quinoa. I wanted rice. But I always want rice! But decided on a “healthier” alternative. It’s pretty OK. Not exactly delish rice but more than passable for sure.<\/p>\n

Not exactly traditional football day food but I wanted something lighter and healthier. Plus I have been wanting to try this recipe. It was very YUM!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
