Creamy Salsa with Fish

Creamy Salsa with Fish

I had one snapper fillet in the fridge and haven't quite decide what to do with it until nad shared this recipe here

Heat some olive oil and butter and pan-fry fillet lightly.

This cream is a result of heating some olive oil+butter and then sauteeing minced garlic, diced red onion, garlic, cut chilli padi, coriander leaves, crushed black pepper, diced tomatoes, lime juice from 1/2 a lime, cream, some water, pinch of salt and some sugar, in the said order. Cook then pour over pan-fried fillet.

Yummy Yummy!

I love fish too. Since I only had 1 fillet in the fridge then, I had to get another fish fillet because I know I can gobble up one all on my own (and the hubster will have none). I bought another fillet, bocourti fillet. I was totally clueless what type it was and I bought it mainly because it was conveniently packed already, and the available choice at CS that day was between bocourti and snapper. Since snapper's already waiting for me at home, bocourti would add variety. and it was on offer.

I later learnt that bocourti is a type of semi-fatty fish. We had 1 snapper fillet and 1 bocourti fillet with the creamy salsa. I liked the creamy salsa with the bocourti fillet better.

I like this recipe a lot! It's creamy AND spicy, thanks to the stars of the dish, the chilli padi.
