Oven Baked Herb Catfish

Welcome back!

Following up on the couscous, we have catfish, since every time we made couscous, we also made catfish! It's a good pairing because they're both light and the flavors are nice and subtle. If you look back at the couscous recipe, the last catfish is the type that's we're making today. All you need is some catfish and some spices and herbs!

Oven Baked Herb Catfish

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

4 pieces of catfish
Garlic powder
Paprika
Salt and pepper
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Thyme
Oregano
Juice from half a lemon

Directions:

Spray oil on a pan.
Put the catfish on the pan and sprinkle the herbs, spices, and lemon juice on top.
Spray some more oil on top of the catfish.
Bake in the oven at 375° for 15 minutes.

The ingredients didn't have measurements today because it's really all to taste. You could add a little or a lot depending on what you like. Just be reasonable and the result will taste great!

In this one, we added some basil to give it some more flavor and greenness. Once again, this goes great with some roasted vegetables and couscous for a healthy dinner!

Banana Chiffon Cake

Welcome back! Today, we have another recipe for when you want to use some of your extra bananas!

Key Lime Pie

Welcome back! Today, we have one of my favorite desserts: Key Lime Pie! There's so many things that are great about this dish from the texture to the combination of flavors. Plus, I prefer the flavor of key limes as compared to normal limes, as key limes are tarter and more citrus-y. Now this is a sour dish, so if that's not your thing, then you can cut back on some of the key lime juice and it'll be better. Any way, it's a great dessert! Key Lime Pie Makes a 10" tart pan or 9" pie pan Ingredients: Crust: 2 1/2 cups almond flour 6 tablespoons butter, diced 1/4 cup sugar Pinch of salt If you want to use graham crackers for the crust, use about 1 1/2 cups (150 grams) of crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 10 sheets) along with 5 tablespoons melted butter and mix. Filling: 4 egg yolks* 1 14-ounce can of condensed milk 2/3 cup key lime juice (about 1 pound of key limes should be enough for decorations too) 1 tablespoon key lime zest *If you don't want to use...
