White Food

White Food: Ugly, impossible to photograph, boring.

Last night I made a very simple fish dish that tasted very good, but was totally not photo compatible.

White fish, with a colorless sauce, with white rice. Dear, dear, dear, how boring.

But it was good. I saw Bittman do it on PBS, so I replicated it without having any measurements.

Take a nice mild white fish and pan fry it quickly in olive oil making sure not to over cook it. We used wild caught Dover Sole (you should always use wild caught fish. Farmed fish has none of the nutritional benefits associated with fish like Omega-3s and is generally bad for the environment.) Make sure to season it generously with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, make the sauce, I used a couple tablespoons of butter melted. Add a tablespoon or so of capers, a tablespoon or so of red wine vinegar and two tablespoons of honey.

The sauce is very runny, which was perfect with the rice. The whole meal (we had rice already made) took about 7 minutes.
