No more rich festive foods. LOL. I definitely over-ate, but not that bad since most of these meals are lovingly home-cooked and are low on salt and refined sugar. I made sure not to have more than one rich meal a day, and tried to schedule these meals for alternate days. I still keep to my light meals whenever possible.
Took a stroll to the wet market to see what fish was available for me to cook it for dinner. Some stalls are closed. But a few stalls selling fish were open, and had plenty of choices for customers. I was delighted to find a whole sole. Well, a flounder. Yay. That would be quite the perfect dinner. Requested for it be de-boned and sliced up into two fillets.
Bought cooking tomatoes and some vegetables. Those would go into a salsa marinade for fish. There were also wonderful cherry tomatoes on vine. Bought a whole bunch to eat raw. They would match the oven-baked fish nicely. Overdosing on tomatoes? Never. I'm more fond of raw tomatoes than cooked ones, unless it’s relish. The salsa marinade would be baked along with the fish, and I would only be interested in the fish.
Dinner prep was really quick, and fairly easy. The raw fish only required to be doused with salt and pepper, and laid out on a bed of coriander and spring onions. Sliced up the cooking tomatoes and vegetables to make the tomato salsa marinade. Drizzled it all over the fillets. Rolled them up separately in parchment paper. Shoved both fillets into the oven for about 28 minutes, and took them out. Unrolled the paper, poked at them and voilà, beautifully done. A light dinner most satisfying. #ImpieCooks2018
