Sauteed Fish and salsa

I made this on vacation with access to a frying pan, a stove and a fridge/freezer.
It's a quick and easy meal.

Any thin-ish white fish, such as turbot, tilapia, flounder, etc.
Lemonade
Jar of salsa
Can of corn
Two tomatoes
Cooking spray or oil

Saute fish in oil or cooking spray on both sides until mostly cooked through (test in the middle). Add lemonade to the pan until it comes about halfway up the fish. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove fish to a plate and cook liquid until slightly reduced. Pour over fish.

Rinse and wipe out pan. Add spray or oil and add corn. Cook until slightly blackened. Add salsa and diced tomatoes. Cook several minutes until warmed through. Serve with fish.

Tuna Casserole

This is my own recipe. I combined a bunch of other recipes to make something that my family really likes. In fact, we’re having it for supper tonight.

1 lb noodles (elbows)
3 cans tuna
can of peas
salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder to taste
3 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp flour
1 ½ cups milk
5 slices American Cheese

Cook the noodles according to directions. In a separate frying pan, heat the oil. Mix in flour to make a paste. Add milk, stirring constantly. When hot, melt the cheese into it.

After draining noodles, spice to taste and pour in the cheese mixture, peas, and tuna. Mix well. Bake at 350o in a 9x13 pan until done (30-60 min) or serve as is.

My Mother’s Gefilte Fish

Stock: amounts per 2 lb of fish

4 cups water
6 Tbsp sugar (reduce)
1 tsp salt
Pinch of pepper
1 chopped onion
2 carrots

Put all ingredients into a large pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and leave to simmer for half an hour. Add the fish rolls in the paper. Gently cook for 2 hours. Cool and slice.

Chana’s Salmon

2 big onions, cut into rings
½ cup sugar
Salmon fillets
1 Tbsp salt
¼ cup lemon juice
Pickling spice

Caramelize onions in sugar (add a little oil). Place fillets, skin side down, in pan. Add water until it just covers the salmon. Mix other ingredients and pour over fillets. Bring to a low boil and simmer for 18 minutes. Serve cold.

The sauce is optional. I've never actually tried it, but I trust Chana's good taste.

Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp and a little lemon juice
1 clove garlic
Dill

Mix in food processor until smooth.
