Pan-Fried Mackerel with Silverbeet

29 September 2009

Pan Fried Fish and Silverbeet

I’m a very throw-it-together kind of cook.

No recipe. Just a bit of this and a bit of that.

Great for my family. Not so great for my website.

I made dinner in a crazy flurry – while making pureed pumpkin and steamed apple for my baby, helping my oldest child with his spelling and maths homework, and helping my middle child make a dinosaur diorama.

Sometimes I wonder, WHY don’t I just order CHINESE TAKEAWAY? MY LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH SIMPLER.

Would you believe me if I said that cooking helps me relieve stress?

Anyway, I had a bunch of fresh silverbeet in my fridge. Shallots and garlic at the bottom of my cupboard. A few pieces of fish in my freezer. Bit of lemon, butter, pepper and lots of olive oil. Served with rice.

(Apologies, I initially posted that the fish was barracuda. But my dad (who bought the fish for me, said it was actually mackerel! Like I would know the difference anyway!)
