My first dinner guest in the new place came over last night, and I christened the stove, oven, and dishes with Red Snapper and a mango shrimp salsa.
On Wednesday, I went to Whole Foods to buy fish. There was no Red Snapper in the case, but the nice fish guy offered to fillet a fresh one for me. While I waited, I struck up a conversation with another customer who ended up taking the other half of the freshly filleted fish and copied down my recipe for her dinner that night.
After broiling the fish with olive oil and salt and pepper, I threw it over a salsa made of champagne mango, avacado, shrimp, chile peppers, green onions, garlic, and lime. Simple, colorful, delicious - the mango and peppers were perfect together.
Mmm. I love fish. I love cooking. I love dinner guests (especially tall ones).
