Yummy fish

Don't worry, it won't turn you green :)

Yesterday, I decided to cook dinner for my brother and created this WONDERFUL baked fish topped with a delicious white sauce.


Thought I would share.











Ingredients:

Perch/salmon fillet
1 green pepper
1 green onion
1 tomato
1 small container of fat free tarter sauce
1 small container of fat free lemon pepper sauce
Peanut sauce
Sugar (or splenda)
1 sauce pan
1 baking pan

Directions:
-Thaw fish fillets are room temperature
-While fish are thawing, mix together the small container of fat free tarter sauce and fat free lemon pepper sauce. (If you are unable to find the lemon pepper sauce, you can always substitute this with regular lemon pepper seasoning and add 1/8 of a cup to the lemon tarter sauce)
-Chop the green pepper and add to the sauce
-Use half of the onion, chop into smaller slices and add to the sauce
-Chop the tomato and add to the sauce
-Add 1 tablespoon of peanut sauce (may add more, if you desire a stronger peanut flavor)
-Add 1/4 tablespoon of sugar or Splenda
-Stir.
-Now place fish fillets into the baking pan. Use a large spoon to drizzle the sauce and veggies over the fish until the top of each fish fillet is cover. (One batch of sauce will cover six fillets of perch)
-Set oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and back for 25 minutes. If the fish are completely thawed, you will not need to preheat the oven. Depending on the size of the fish, you might only need 20 minutes, make sure to peak on the fish after 15 minutes and see how things are progressing.
-Now eat!!!!

Easy Dish

One thing that none of us seem to have a lot of, whether you are a resident, a RN, an attending, or not in the medical filed at all, is time.

No wonder it is difficult to find time to make a meal, when the decision to order take out or stop at fast food joint is so enticing because it requires little time, little effort, and is ready and waiting instantly.

Well my friends, I can't solve your time issues, but I can share with you an easy recipe that tastes great and will impress those around you and trick them into believing that you are actually a great chief (I mean of course you are:)

Potato casserole! (Vegetarian style or carnivore style)

Ingredients
Potatoes
Canned kernel corn
Canned peas
Canned mixed vegetables
Canned broccoli
Onions
One large can of low sodium cream of mushroom soup
One large can of clam chowder
Optional: Your choice of meat: Shrimp, ground beef, ground turkey, whatever you like
Green Pesto Powder

Directions:
1. In a pasta strainer, was the sodium off of the canned vegetables to get rid of all that extra sodium in canned foods
2. Next chop your potatoes into thin slices (they don't have to be super thin) and chop your onions as well
3. In a casserole dish combine your washed canned veggies, potatoes, onions, and your can of cream of mushroom and clam chowder.
-Optional step (add your frozen shrimp or cooked ground beef/turkey)
4. Add your pesto seasoning and stir.
5. Cover and place into the oven at 450 degrees and allow to cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally (no need to preheat oven)
6. Remove pot and serve! So easy. The nice part is that you decreased the sodium content by washing your canned veggies (also a tip you can provide to patients who rely on canned goods for their vegetables)

Enjoy, and make sure to comment on how it turns out!
