John calls this dish Chicken Pizza.  While I hate the nickname it does sort of describe the dish — minus the bread.  And it makes for wonderful leftovers!

Baked Mahi Mahi with Greek Salad and Orzo Fennel

Posted in Fall, Fish, Spring, Summer, Winter on May 21, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The Menu:

  • Baked Mahi Mahi with feta cheese, herbs and lemon slices
  • Greek Salad
  • Toasted Orzo with Fennel
This is so satisfying I eat it year round.  By using grape tomatoes the salad is tasty whatever the season.  And the orzo, well, I invent reasons to sneak into the kitchen and eat the leftovers.

Grilled Tuna Steak with Provencal Vinaigrette

The Menu:

  • Grilled Tuna Steak with Provencal Vinaigrette
  • Grilled Spring Onions
  • Couscous with Toasted Pinenuts

My latest dinner find!  Wonderful, easy and seasonally perfect.  Can swap out the tuna for swordfish or any steak fish.  Make twice as many spring onions, they’re that good.
