Mr. Hawthorne came home
last week with red drum.
Why, I asked, when we have a freezer full of stuff
I'm trying to get rid off.
Because Billy's Seafood is getting
ready to close for the winter
and he won't be able to get his fresh fish fix
for a while.
And he smeared some LOLUB on top.
(That's Land O' Lakes Unsalted Butter!)
The fish went into a 350 degree oven
for about 20 minutes
while I prepared the toppings.
My ingredients for the toppings:
tomatoes
red onion
dried hot pepper
black olives
capers
pink peppercorns in brine
yellow pepper
artichoke hearts, rinsed and chopped
fresh basil
Mr. Hawthorne had cooked some whole wheat linguini,
which I plated along with the
perfectly flaky fish and the toppings.
I liked all the flavors here.
Mr. Hawthorne, however,
didn't care for the peppercorns.
If you're not a peppercorn kind of person,
then by all means, leave them out.
This was a fresh tasting, light, easy, enjoyable lunch.
