When one's husband goes out of town, some ladies may enjoy a chick-flick and a pint of Haagan-Daz. Others may enjoy a babysitter and a bottle of wine with girlfriends.
I enjoy fish.
As I may have mentioned a few thousand times before, my hubby loves meat. Specifically red meat. He will gladly eat fish (especially sushi) but I can't serve fish too often without him playing the martyr. (Love you, honey, but you know it's true.) Since he is out of town tonight, I decided to sneak in an extra fish dish, just for me. I feel like Jennifer Aniston going to an expensive Italian restaurant and ordering only steamed broccoli, but whatever.
I decided to try Martha's Fish Sticks for Grown-Ups for several reasons:
1) I :heart: salmon,
2) It's easy,
3) I'm a lazy person at heart, and
4) I get to use some cute over-sized toothpicks. (They're accessories for food!)
When you buy the salmon, don't forget keep the skin on. It will impress the fishmonger helps keep the fish together. I actually forgot this step but the fish held together just fine. Coat with oil and curry paste, slide onto (adorable!) skewers and grill. I made some with just oil, salt and pepper, too. I used my grill pan since the Grill Master (a.k.a. my hubby) was out. The salmon turned out juicy and flavorful. It was so good, I may start eating all fish on a stick. Somehow I don't think this will fly at restaurants.
But it would be fun to try.
Me: I'd like the Chilean Sea Bass with jumbo lump crab meat and the sauteed spinach...
Waiter: Okay. Great!
Me: ...And I'd like that served on a stick, please.
Just the dumbfounded look on the waiter's face would make it worthwhile.
