4 or 5 fish steaks
1 tbsp. seasoning mixture (see below for recipe)
Salt (to taste)
3-4 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 small onion (sliced)
2 medium ripe tomatoes (sliced)
Vinegar or lime juice
Instructions:
Marinate fish and rub with seasoned mixture.
Sprinkle with a little salt. Melt butter or margarine in pan and fry sliced
onions lightly. Remove onions from the pan, put in fish and cover tightly so
that the fish cooks with steam. When one side is done (about 4 minutes), turn
over carefully. Arrange sliced tomatoes and cooked onions on top. Cover and
steam again (about 4 minutes). Just before serving, pour a little lime juice or
vinegar over each piece of fish.
Seasoning
Mixture:
1 medium onion (minced/chopped)
2-3 blades chives or shallot (minced/chopped)
Piece of red pepper (chopped)
¼ tsp. powered cloves
½ tsp. salt
Sprig of thyme or marjoram
1 garlic clove (chopped)
1 tsp. lime juice
Mince or chop onion, garlic and chives or shallot
very finely. Mix in the other ingredients and chop well together. To season the
fish, score the flesh deeply in places and put a little mixture in each
incision.
Note: Fish fillet pieces, flying fish and pork (for
roasting) can be made very tasty prepared with this seasoning mixture.
