Since we had tilapia filets in the freezer I used those instead of cod. SP and I had a very late lunch after an excruciating 3 1/2 hours at the DMV (we finally got our PA licenses!) so we shared this portion. It was amazing. I loved the crunchy exterior of the cakes and the flavors were great - the lemon, thyme and Old Bay married together perfectly and the tilapia was fishy without being overwhelming. I also liked the potatoes mixed with the baby spinach. All in all a definite keeper, despite the meal taking more than an hour to put together (and resulting in some burns on my arm from when the hot oil splashed me). I will definitely be making this one again or maybe even the variation with turkey and cranberry sauce.
Ahem, you had a rather limited palette when you were growing up. Meat, and I emphasize the MEAT, potatoes, and broccoli. Not green beans, not peas, BROCCOLI. To this DAY I can't eat broccoli!! But you are correct, I didn't make fish much when you were growing up, with the exception of tuna salad (and I do make a mean tuna salad!). Now that you're out of the house, however, we're eating fish or seafood just about every other night! Go figure!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you still had an aversion to broccoli. Sorry! :) And yes, you make a mean tuna salad. I don't know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteisn't blogging a unifying experience? I love it and I love it that my father and my sister do it as well/with me. Cool for the two of you!
