Alice Marcus Solovy of Skokie, Illinois, writes: When I was 12 years old, my mother taught me how to make my first pie crust. My father said it tasted just like his grandmother's, and I was very flattered. That's basically the story of how I started cooking. After almost a lifetime in the kitchen, I still enjoy playing around with recipes. I've even been known to go out to dinner, taste a certain dish, and then re-create it at home in a few tries. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature |
2 tablespoons sweet paprika |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh italian parsley |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
4 5-ounce 3/4-inch-thick snapper or halibut fillets |
lemon wedges |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Combine 3 tablespoons butter, sweet paprika, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, fresh lemon juice, lemon peel, salt, and ground pepper in small bowl and stir to blend. Spread seasoned butter mixture over both sides of fish fillets. Sprinkle each with additional salt and pepper. Transfer fish to prepared dish. Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Transfer fish to platter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Garnish platter with lemon wedges and serve.
