Fine Investment Father's Day Rockfish












Ok first, forgive the lack of blogging!! But anyhoo, for Father's Day I took him to St. Michael's MD (GO THERE!) I set him up with a fishing guide through the Chesapeake and sent him on his merry way. Lucky for me he caught three HUGE Rockfish (Striped Bass, where I'm from). He couldn't take them back on the plane so I invited some of my girlfriends over and made a super simple Parmesan Rockfish AND to celebrate summer, a feta and watermelon salad.

Parmesan & Parsley Fish:
Start marinating it ASAP. Don't stress if these only means like, 30 minutes...just get on it!
-preheat over to 350

-2 large garlic cloves crushed-2 filets of rockfish (or any other white fish)
-the juice of 2 lemons
-2 tsp salt and pepper
-3 tsp olive oil
- 2 shakes of chili flake if you want to KrAZy
-put in ziplock and stick in frig
after it's chilled again, place in oiled glass dish and sprinkle with grated parmesa
n cheese and fresh chopped parsley.
Fish doesn't take long so I put in last minute: depending on thickness bake for 11-13 minutes
**WiLd SiDe:turn on the broiler at the end for 2 minutes to brown the top

They will love you Forever Boursin Mashed Pots:
Depending on guests a lot 1 large potato per 2 people
-quarter and boil potatoes, drain
add:
-salt/pepper
-1 garlic clove
-3/4 foil of Boursin herbed cheese
-2 T butter
-2 T sour cream
-splash of milk or cream
-mix with mixer/masher..not excessively though, that will make them too glossy

I-Am-A-Sex-MaH-Cheen Watermelon and Feta Salad:
Vinaigrette:
-1 part lemon juice
-2 parts Extra Virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt/pepper
-1 tsp sugar
-the leaves of 4 thyme sprigs
-5 raspberries, optional
-splash of any good quality fruit juice in the frig (lemonade, limeade,raspberry juice)
Mix all together in blender until smooth. If it's too sweet, add one more lemon and/or pepper. Too tart, more olive oil, then more sugar. Add to a package of Spring mix lettuce, then serve with a slice of watermelon and a feta cube. (Don't do an herbed feta..too many guests at the flavor party..)
