Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

STEAMED FISH RECIPE

haddock fillets (each about 150 grams)
lemon
salt
pepper
small braising cucumbers (each about 230 grams)
scallions
bunch dill
tablespoon olive oil
bay leaf
teaspoons mustard
140 milliliters vegetable broth
300 grams yogurt (low-fat)
Preparation:
Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels.

Rinse lemon in hot water, wipe dry and grate half of the zest finely. Cut lemon in half and squeeze out the juice.

Drizzle fish fillets with half the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Peel cucumbers and halve lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon and cut the flesh into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) slices.

Rinse scallions, shake dry and cut into thin rings.

Rinse dill, shake dry, pluck off the fronds and chop finely.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Sauté onions and cucumbers for about 1 minute while stirring. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in bay leaf, 1 teaspoon mustard and remaining lemon juice. Transfer mixture to a baking dish.

Arrange fish on top of vegetables, sprinkle with half of the dill and pour in broth.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C, gas: mark 2-3)(approximately 350°F) for about 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir the yogurt in a small bowl with remaining dill and mustard and grated lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Top fish with cucumber-yogurt sauce and serve.
