I hit on a winner last night. Even the picky girl liked it. She went back for thirds, even, which pretty much never happens with her unless dinner consists of mac & cheese or snickers bars.
On a large piece on tinfoil, I laid down a thick layer of baby spinach leaves, and on top of that sliced tomato.
Next came a couple of mahi mahi fillets from Trader Joe's (where the prices for frozen fish are super-reasonable). On top of the fish I sprinkled some red Hawaiian salt, and about half a can of thick coconut milk. Chopped onions over the whole thing.
Sealed it up in foil, and baked at 375° for around 40 minutes. After it came out of the oven, I topped it with sliced avocado. Served up with some fried rice with Chinese sausage and sugar snap peas.
Totally a meal I'd do again, especially after the kid's reaction.
In other news, we're going out to DMDT for the day on Saturday. Svava's hosting a trade blanket in the afternoon. I'm not sure how long we'll hang out after that. Not sure what Sunday holds, although there's plenty of housecleaning to do (as ever). If the weather's nice I'd love to get in some hiking. With the sun coming out I'm starting to get the bug to wander in the woods. Unfortunately it's still another month+ before the high country becomes accessible between the skeeters and the snow. Sigh. Plenty to do until then I guess.
