Baked Dory Fish

Apart from Salmon - Dory is one of my many favourite seafoods dig. There's just something about it. The first time I tried a dish out of it was a few years back at Bubba Gump Manila. Never really thought I could find a frozen delight on the supermarket but I did last weekend and have to be thankful because finally I'm able to cooked it as I pleased and enjoy the taste :)

Ingredients

* Dory Fish Fillet (frozen cuts are available at Rustan's Supermarket, Ayala Center Cebu)

* Sliced Carrots (sliced it diagonally for some artsy look)

* Ringed Lemons (cut into two)

* Olives (you could also opt for the black ones, depends on your mood)

* Onions (rings)

* Broccoli (cooked separately by boiling)

* Spices (basil flakes, oregano flakes, black pepper, turmeric, minced garlic, dash of oil)

Procedure

* Clean your Dory Fish Fillet via running water and let dry. 

* Placed in bake ware and placed all ingredients except for Broccoli (i decided to place the carrots underneath the fish just for experiment purposes)

* Sprinkle with spices and place in oven to baked for 30 minutes. Oven must be at 350.

Never thought Tofu can taste like chicken when deep fried and coated like this but it did Maybe because of the spices I added in. Always wanted to experiment on this 'cos most of the tofu dishes served in restaurants are either sauteed or semi fried or steamed but never had I seen one that was deep fried. So, finally made some difference. 

What made it tastier is the Japanese bread crumbs that I used, specially when I mix in some spices on it. But have to admit, tofus are fragile dishes which requires fine handling and cutting because it easily breaks off. For some other twist on it, coating it with some grated cheese would make it interesting for kids and adults :)

Enjoy your weekend loves! And enjoy experimenting on food. Not really sure if some are taking notes on the recipes that I make because obviously some of it were already known and are commonly practiced :)
