Thanks!Dinner ideas? No meat but open to fish recipes or vegetarian?
Choctaw Catfish





4 (4 ounce) fillets catfish


2 cups buttermilk


1 cup yellow cornmeal


1/2 tablespoon onion salt


1 tablespoon steak seasoning


1/4 cup vegetable oil





In a medium bowl, place catfish fillets in buttermilk. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 45 minutes.


In a resealable plastic bag, mix cornmeal, onion salt, and steak seasoning. One at a time, drain catfish fillets and place in the bag to coat with the cornmeal mixture.


Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Fry each fillet 7-10 minutes per side, or until exterior is lightly browned and flesh is easily flaked with a fork. Drain on paper towels.











Herbed Halibut





1 (2 pound) halibut fillet


1 large lemon, quartered


1 cup olive oil


1 teaspoon sea salt


1 teaspoon garlic powder


1 tablespoon dill weed





Preheat the oven's broiler and coat a baking sheet or broiling pan with olive oil.


Rinse the fish and pat dry. Place on the greased pan, and brush with olive oil or coat with olive oil cooking spray. Squeeze the juice from the lemon wedges over the entire fillet, and season generously with salt first, then garlic and finally dill.


Broil for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fillet is opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Broiling time may depend on the thickness of your fillet.Dinner ideas? No meat but open to fish recipes or vegetarian?

300g/11oz fontina cheese, cut into chunks

Method


1. Preheat the oven to 375F/190C/gas5.


2. To make lasagne: roll out the pasta dough (if using fresh) on a lightly floured surface to make a single sheet3mm/1/8in thick. Cut into rectangles about 10x20cm/4x8in in size.


3. Cook the fresh or dried pasta, adding the pieces one by one to boiling water to which you have added salt and 1 tbsp of oil, to prevent the pasta sticking. Allow 5 minutes cooking time for fresh pasta, 8-10 minutes for dried. Carefully remove the pasta and pat dry on clean tea towels.


4. To make the spinach balls: cook the spinach in a little water until tender, drain well and chop finely. Mix the spinach in a little water until tender, drain well and chop finely. Mix the spinach with 1 tbsp beaten egg, the dried breadcrumbs and 25g/1oz of the parmesan cheese. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Using your hands to shape the spinach mixture into walnut-sized balls.


5. Heat enough oil to deep fry the spinach balls, until lightly browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels.


6. To prepare the aubergines: put half of the other 2 beaten eggs in a dish. Dip the aubergine slices into the flour and then into beaten egg. Heat enough oil to deep fry the aubergine, until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels.


7. Prepare the courgettes in the same way as the aubergines, dipping them into flour and beaten egg, then deep frying them. Set aside on paper towels.


8. To prepare the mushrooms: heat 1 tbsp oil in a separate frying pan, add the mushroom slices and fry briefly. Stir in the garlic and parsley with salt and pepper to taste.


9. To assemble the lasagne: put 3-4 tbsp tomato sauce on the bottom of a large baking dish. Cover with a layer of pasta. Next add a layer each of the mushrooms, the courgettes, aubergine and spinach balls. Add some of the fontina cheese. Now add 3-4 tbsp tomato sauce, 3-4 tbsp of the beaten eggs and a generous sprinkle of the remaining parmesan cheese.


10. Starting with a layer of pasta repeat the sequence of layers until the ingredients are all used, finishing with a layer of vegetables.


11. Bake for 20 minutes. Cut into portions and serve.
