Dinner Dare With Virginia Willis
Fish fillets are the ultimate convenience food. They take little time to cook and prepare. In addition, fish is light and keeps the heat out of the kitchen during the long, hot days of summer.
My philosophy with fish is to give it some sort of protection to keep it from
drying out. A crust, a coating and moist vegetables protect the delicate fish and ensure a perfect, moist meal — every time. -- Virginia Willis, for Evening Edge
