I started to grow some fresh herbs with a grow light on my kitchen windowsill,
and it paid off. I get lots of fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, dill,
thyme, and tarragon. Tarragon, which has a flavor resembling licorice,
is used widely in French and Greek cooking and
pairs well with chives and is a perfect accompaniment with fish. I seldom prepared
fish with tarragon due to the cost of buying this fresh herb, but now, with the
help of a grow light, I always have enough fresh tarragon to cook and chives
will thrive in my garden outside all year round here in the
Pacific
Northwest. It is time to prepare this recipe and marry these two
wonderful herbs together. These herbs are not just about flavoring the food but
also they have a medicinal history, such as providing vitamins A & C and
helping to digest food.
Ingredients:
Two 6 oz white fish (your favorite such as cod, tilapia, halibut, orange
roughy)
2 tbs melted butter
1/4 tsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp honey
dijon
mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbs fresh chopped tarragon
2 tbs fresh chopped chives
1/2 cup Kellogg’s Corn Flakes®, finely crushed
Directions:
Pat dry fish and place onto a baking dish.
Mix melted butter, mustard, salt, lemon juice, black pepper, and honey
in a bowl. Use pastry brush to brush the fish with the butter mixture. Layer
fish with fresh tarragon and chives and top with crushed corn flakes. Drizzle a
little olive oil on top.
Preheat oven to 375°. Then bake fish for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
