I want to get a few things on the table before I write this post, because I think they are important for you to know before you read this.
- My mom made this, not me. However, I have eaten it many times.
- My father doesn’t like most fish recipes, yet loves this.
- I am not allowed to cook fish in my apartment, because Rico says so.
- Miley Cyrus deleted her twitter.
- This is best made with your favorite tomato sauce, our’s being Rao’s Sicilian with Eggplant
- Miley Cyrus ACTUALLY deleted her twitter.
- We used flounder because it’s a cheap fish.
- Miley Cyrus freakin’ deleted her twitter!!!
Honestly, how can Miley do this? How? What am I supposed to read on my Blackberry in the morning to laugh at teenage angst displayed in the mainstream as a role model for young children? Where do I go now?!! See Miley, you led me to writing about fish I didn’t even cook. Look what you’ve done now.
Ok, so the main reason I’m letting my mother cook for me is because Rico and I have been packing up for a nice move to a larger apartment. Fine by me, but I have no idea where my kitchen is located at this moment and I am going through pan withdrawal. Do you even understand what its like to try to cook pasta, green beans, and mushrooms in just one pot? Who the hell sautees mushrooms in a pot? Well enjoy this recipe–and my pain. Each serving is around 170 calories for 4 ounces of fish and a 1/4 of a cup of sauce (sauce being 160 calories per cup).
When I was younger, my dad told my friend Katie and I that he loved Parmesan cheese on everything. So then we would progress to the classic “Everything? Even Cake? Soda?” I was an obnoxious child. Too bad I didn’t have twitter back then, Miley and I could have complained about everything together.
The fish is seared to give it a slightly crisp crust that can hold up to the moisture from the tomato sauce. Use a heavy, oven-proof skillet that can go from stove top to oven.
Ingredients:
- 4 (4 ounces each) filet of sole fillets**
- Olive oil Pam
- 1 cup bottled tomato sauce (Choose a sauce that has no more than 70-80 calories per ½ cup.)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oven-proof skillet over high heat and spray with Pam. Place fish in pan and sear for two minutes. Turn fish over; top each fillet with ¼ cup tomato sauce. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake 8 minutes or until fish is done and flakes easily when tested with fork. For a few extra calories, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Makes 2 to 4 servings.
**Grouper, halibut and flounder also work well in this recipe. Cooking times may vary depending upon thickness of the fish. You may use larger fillets, just increase cooking time if needed and more sauce may be desired.
You know what, I bet I know why Miley is so angsty. If I took dance classes as a kid and had to dress up in funny costumes, I probably would have been angsty too. Oh wait, I DID have to dress up in the above costume. Look how happy I am. Nothing like gold lame to make a mid-pubescent girl in her awkward phase happy.
Sounds fishy to me………..
