Hearty "Fish" Stew

This was a creation that pushes the limits of traditional fish stews. I used imitation crab meat which has a great flavor and texture and incorporated traditional stew elements like potatoes, carrots, onions and crushed tomatoes. It turned out delicious. This is the essence of being a SEXY CHEF.

Ingredients:

- 1 pound imitation crab meat

- 6 red potatoes - peeled and diced

- 2 cans petite diced tomatoes

- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced

- 1 onion, diced

- 6 garlic cloves, minced

- fresh basil

- 1 tsp. shriatcha sauce

- 1 tsp. dried oregano

- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

- 1 tsp. dried parsley

- 1 tsp. smoked paprika

- 2 tsp. salt

- 1 tsp. black pepper

- 1 tsp. garlic powder

- olive oil

To Make:

In a large saute pan, drizzle olive oil and saute the onions, carrots and garlic on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and mix together. Add the crab meat and more olive oil and mix together.

In the meantime, peel the potatoes and place in a microwave for 3-4 minutes to make them semi-tender. Dice them up and add into the mix. Add more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix together.

Add in the 2 cans of petite diced tomatoes WITH THE LIQUID. Season with salt and pepper and the rest of the dried ingredients and the shriatcha sauce. Mix together.

Cover, reduce to medium low heat and simmer for 20 minutes before serving. Top with fresh basil. Serve and enjoy!

Pistachio Encrusted Honey-Mustard Salmon

This fish was the BOMB.... the flavors burst in your mouth with this sweet and savory dish. Serve with any vegetables and your set. This is a low-carb, high protein meal with lots of great omega-fatty acids that are essential to good health! Who though eating right could be this delicious and feel this SEXY?

Ingredients:

- salmon fillets (2-4   6 oz. each)
- 1/2 cup mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup peeled pistachios
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- olive oil


To Make:
  
In a glass bowl, combine the mustard and honey and whisk together until combined. Remove skin from salmon and pour the honey mustard all over the salmon. Coat completely on both sides and place in the refrigerator until your ready to use.

In a food processor, combine all spices and pistachios. Pulse together until pistachios are made into small bits. Don't over process.

In a large pan, coat with olive oil and turn stove to medium low heat. Allow the pan to get hot for about 4 minutes before adding the salmon. Note: if you use any higher than medium low, you could get the oil too hot and burn the crust of the fish.

Slowly add each salmon fillet into the pan and cook on medium low heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Serve with your choice of veggies and enjoy!
