Another beautiful day out, just a tad warmer. I wasn't able to get out and enjoy much of it though I had a computer glitch that took a wile to correct. For dinner tonight I prepared a Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Whole Grain Medley - Quinoa and Brown Rice and Green Lettuce and Radish Salad.
I had purchased a couple of fillets of Haddock a couple of days ago and had already cleaned, cut them into smaller pieces, and froze them. I took one package out and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. To prepare them I seasoned them with some Sea Salt and put them in a sealable plastic bag along with some Zatarain's Lemon Pepper Breading Mix. Shook until they were well coated on all sides. Removed from the bag, shook off the excess Breading Mix and pan fried them in Canola Oil. Fried them about 3 minutes per side till it had that Golden Brown Crust on both sides. As usual the Haddock was delicious! The Zatarain's Breading Mix is hard to beat for any Fish or Seafood.
To go with the Haddock I heated up some Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Medley Brown Rice and Quinoa with Garlic. The Uncle Ben's Ready Rice is one of the best things that Uncle Ben's done with Rice! It comes in a microwavable bag. Just microwave it according to the bag instructions and it's hot and ready. The Quinoa and Brown Rice is my favorite. I also made another Salad using the Green Lettuce I had used the other night. With the Lettuce I added some sliced Radishes, fresh grated Parm Cheese, and topped with the Ken's Steakhouse Light Options Sweet Vandalia Onion Dressing. Still suffer from upset stomach when eating green leaf vegetables but I love salads, so it's worth the upset stomach! For dessert later a 100 Calorie Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
