Herb & Garlic Pan Seared Haddock
Today I’m in the mood for some fish, its light, fulfilling, delicious, healthy, and its full of brain power nutrients. I think I’m in the need for some extra fish this week because I seem to be having forgetfulness types of episodes almost every day, some fish is in order to get my brain to wake up a little.
It’s more than likely caused by the fact that I really don’t feel like thinking much right now, cause my little baby goes to school for the first time in a couple of weeks, and I’m just simply heart-broken over it, but the time has come for me to loosen my arms and let him start to experience the world away from mama. This has to truly be harder on me then it is on my little man!!! The house is going to be so quite, I am sure for the first little while I will constantly be watching the clock to see if its time to go pick him up again. As for now we have a little more time for some extra fun, and you can’t have fun without the proper energy, and straight forward thinking which brings me back to the recipe of the day, Herb & Garlic Pan Seared Haddock.
This fish dish is so quick and easy to make, you’ll have plenty of time to go out for some evening fun after dinner, and its defiantly light enough where it won’t make you feel the kind of full that makes you tired, and lacking energy. Many different types of fish are filled with energy boosting nutrients, and vitamins that provide your body and brain with many great benefits. Haddock is a great fish choice especially for anyone who is not a real big fish lover, and doesn’t overly enjoy that fishy taste. Its subtle in flavour which makes it also an excellent choice of fish to introduce to the kids. The freshness of the summer time herbs and garlic, along with the sultry sear achieved by drizzling the fish in a good quality olive oil is a great combination of flavours that don’t leave the fish being completely over powered. Serve this dish with a lovely tossed salad or tomato salad to complete the fresh Summer goodness. This is a healthy dinner you will feel good about eating and serving.
