Feeling Fishy

For some reason, people are always afraid of fish. I don't get it. You rarely do you need a lot of ingredients to make a tasty meal and it's normally healthier and faster to make.

Maybe it's the smell or texture that throws people off but here's a simple recipe with a fish that is thick like a steak and doesn't really have that smell.

What's Needed:

2 5oz Yellowtail Steaks
1 medium cantaloupe, peeled and seeded
1 cup yellow sweet corn
Salt and Pepper
2 tablespoons Olive oil

What Do You Do?

Wash and clean Yellowtail steaks and pat dry. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides and lightly spray with olive oil. Set aside. Cut cantaloupe in half and slice into thin slivers, 1/4 inch if possible.

Steam corn for 7 minutes. Do not boil or you will lose a majority of the crunch and sweetness of this wonderful vegetable.

While you are steaming, heat your skillet with olive oil. Just before it begins to smoke, place steaks in pan. Do not touch them once they are down. Just let them be. I know you may be tempted to check but no, let them cook for 4 minutes on each side.

Plate and serve.
