This is one of my fallback recipes. It’s a very healthy and tasty meal when you’re too busy to cook anything else.

Cajun Fish

• Fillets of any type of white fish (haddock and tilapia are my fav)
• Cajun Seasoning (e.g. Old Bay)
• Olive Oil

Rinse the surface of the fish fillets prior to cooing, pat dry with paper towel. Sprinkle on a moderate amount of cajun seasoning on either side of the fish. Heat a little bit of olive oil in a frying pan and wait until the frying pan is thoroughly hot. Place the fillets onto the frying pan and pan fry for about 2 min on both sides, until golden brown. Be sure not to overcook or else it’ll take on the texture of rubber.

Tip: Sometimes one side of the fish fillet is skin, that’s good. When pan frying, pan-fry the fillet so the skin side is up for about 80% of the total cooking time. The skin will help keep the moisture in.

Asparagus

• Asparagus (discard the bottom portion by snapping asparagus with hands)
• Chicken Broth

Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan, drop in asparagus. Cook until tender with a little bit of snap remain. You can usually test this by poking a fork into the asparagus and it goes through pretty easily and the asparagus taking on a bright green color. Again, don’t overcook.
