Fish Tacos

After searching long and hard for the Fast and Easy Tilapia Tacos with Pineapple Salsa recipe I came to the conclusion that it doesn't exist. Instead I think I used this recipe as a guide, and modified it for the ingredients and time I had on hand. Dave loved it and that is saying a lot because Dave usually just tolerates fish.

Marinade (this is copied straight from the recipe):

• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Dice 3 tilapia fillets and marinate while you make the salsa. Wrap in foil and grill, or saute on the stove.

The Food Network recipe has a complicated salsa recipe with ingredients I don't buy. I just made my own pico de gallo with fresh tomatoes, green peppers, red onion, cilantro, salt and pepper and added some pineapple. Last time I made it I may have just mixed pineapple into salsa.

Serve in warm corn or flour tortillas with diced avocado, crema (sour cream with a little lime juice), fish and pineapple salsa.

See fast and easy.

Grilled Tuna Sandwich with Tomato and Swiss

The title basically says it all.

Make tuna as you normally would for a sandwich (a tsp or so of red wine vinegar adds a kick). Put it on bread and top with tomato and a slice of swiss cheese and another slice of bread. Grill on panini maker or in a skillet.

Clam Sauce and Linguine

1 lb package linguine
1/2 cup butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz chopped mushrooms
1 or 2 chopped green onions, white and green parts separate
2 (6.5 oz) cans minced clams (chopped are too big)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp ground pepper
salt to taste
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan

Cook linguine to al dente in salted water.

Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic, mushrooms, onion whites until lightly browned. Add minced clams, parsley, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until hot.

Toss sauce with drained hot pasta. Garnish with Parmesan and onion greens.
