  So yeah, it's simple.

My Pan Fried Fish

 So here is my Cute Fish.

This Dish is called,
Pan Fried Fish served with Oven Dried Cherry Tomatoes, Braised Carrots with Hollandaise Sauce.

Just a simple Main Course,

The fish is a fillet which we hand fillet ourselves so it is a very fresh product not the typical packet food type.

How is it made? well...

The Fish was Rolled up and tied with a bitchers string.
Center are Herbs like Basil and Dill and onions.

The fish was seared on a pan, meaning it's consists of not much oil..

The Carrots were braised, meaning it was slow boiled in a pan, with butter and seasoning.
simple right?

then comes the Oven Dried Tomatoes..
They were seasoned with salt and garlic and some herbs like parsley.
and placed in the oven till it dries up 60%..

Lastly, the Hollandaise Sauce..
It is made with with just whipped egg yolk with butter trickled in slowly with continuous whipping.
then seasoning..

Now wasnt that easy? ;)
