RECIPE: TKG's Blue Marlin in Cilantro Salsa

Because its almost Holy Week and fish dishes are nom derigueur, I am sharing a simple and easy-to-cook but super healthy dish. For this recipe, I chose Blue Marlin but you can use any other fish.


Ingredients:

250 g blue marlin, cubed
5-6 medium sized tomatoes, cubed
ginger slices
cilantro, 1 bunch
onions (optional)
2 tbs olive oil (Dona Elena)
rock salt, as desired
half lemon or lime (optional)




Make sure that the oil will coat the pan evenly, if not add some more. Fry the ginger slices until you can smell the aroma then add the tomatoes. Stir-fry and cover the pan so that the tomato will cook from its natural juice. You need to add the cilantro before the tomatoes get overcooked, then add some salt. Throw in the fish and coat it well with the sauce so that it will soak in the flavors. Cover and let it cook for a few more minutes then its done. Squeeze some lemon or lime for added flavor. Serves 2-3

    1. You can omit cilantro and add in some onions which I didn't ...the dish would still taste the same except for the cilantro flavor :)

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
