For a while, I decided I wouldn't cook fish! I had so many bad experiences with fish that wasn't fresh when I purchased it, or it just didn't smell the way I wanted it to. Well today, I decided to give it a shot again. This time I went to my local Whole Foods Market and the very nice man who helped me said, "If it isn't fresh, doesn't taste right or is not to your satisfaction, I'll give you your money back. I bet my job that you'll love it!"
Well thank you kind sir! It was great. The red snapper was flaky with just the right amount of moisture and no nasty fishy taste! Just wonderful fish that tasted and smelled great! Fish is redeemed.
My initial plan was to make a healthy grilled fish for the start of the new year...well, that was the plan, but not what happened. How could I pass up fresh jalapenos and the sticks of butter left over from Christmas? Since we don't usually keep butter in the house, I decided I had to use it to get rid of it :) Thus, Jalapeno Hollandaise was born...In the blender, it is so easy!
Jalapeno Hollandaise-
1 stick butter- melted and hot
6 egg yolks
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp green onions
1 tsp diced jalapenos
Put the egg yolks, lemon juice, green onions and jalapenos into a blender. Cover and blend until frothy. While the blender is still running, very slowly pour the hot melted butter into the egg mixture. This will make the sauce very thick. Serve immediately.
I poured this over the fish with a saute of jalapenos, onions, garlic, scallions and jalapeno smoked bacon...so much for healthy!!! You may also want to drop a little bit of bacon in the hollandaise while it is blending to give it a nice smoky flavor. Enjoy!
