Last-Minute Recipes: Spicy Broiled Fish

As promised, here’s a main course you can prepare as part of this week’s collection of recipes.

Our NC MOSAIC collection brings together government-related information available on the internet.  It’s a handy one-stop site for searching across North Carolina’s state government. You can find information on all sorts of topics, including recipes.

One site you’d find through NC MOSAIC is the Seafood Cookbook from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.  There you’ll find this yummy suggestion for…

6 (8 to 10 ounce) fish fillets
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Place fish fillets in two lightly greased 13×9×2-inch baking dishes, skin side down. Sprinkle Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and red pepper evenly over the fish. Brush fish with butter; sprinkle with lemon juice, and top with parsley. Broil 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Yield: 6 servings.

Tomorrow’s suggestion will be a bit of a departure from what you might find on tables today. And it doubles as a decoration! I hope I’ve got you intrigued…
