Something Fishy

Here is a recipe that’s so easy to prepare. A lot of my friends would normally be lost for words whenever I serve them this dish.  Its so simple that anybody can make it.. Selecting the freshest quality of fish for this dish is very essential. The place where I came from is known for its wonderful seafood, so getting the freshest catch of day is easy. Here, I am using Mackerel or Tanigue in Filipino. You may also use Tuna or Salmon as long as it is an oily type of fish. You can never go wrong with fresh fish cooked properly. The zesty scent of lemon and garlic fried to a light brown plus copious amounts of really good butter blends perfectly with the juicy fish. This recipe speaks volumes of how a simple dish can transcend from ordinary to magical.

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Add the fish and allow to marinate for 2 minutes. Prepare a skillet and pan fry the fish at 2 minutes per side. Take note not to overcook your fish otherwise it will turn dry and bland.
For the sauce, melt the butter in a pan and saute garlic. Add the remaining marinade, water and chopped dill leaves. Pour over the fish and garnish with the cherry tomato confit.
