My Husband and the Sea

It has been quite a while, so I thought it appropriate to come back with a simple recipe from where I've been...

I've known all along that my husband has been having a love affair with the sea. When the elements don't offer sufficient waves for surf, he spends his time under them. As of late, I've been mostly alright with this as it has left me with a freezer full of lobster and fish.

Before the holidays, we had a little getaway to Kauai. The water and mountains made for a wonderful time, but we had a few delicious meals along the way - one of which I'd been waiting for just the right piece of fish to try on my own - Opah Eggs Benedict from The Garden Cafe at Common Ground, a beautiful, sustainable property in Kilauea. Though it was not Opah, my husband brought home a great piece of fish, Lingcod, which proved to be a good alternate. So, I gave it a recipe-less go and stacked a bunch of ingredients on top of each other...

- toasted, seeded english muffin

- scrambled egg (untraditionally not poached)

- seasoned tomato

- seasoned, grilled Lingcod

- caramelized onions

- sprouts

- hollandaise

Another unbelievable meal to try if ever over there is the Ahi wrap from Kilauea Fish Market - I tried it with ono - twice - and would attempt to make it at home but wouldn't even know where to begin with the dressing.
