Ok! Let's start with a trivia question from my trip. Tell me where the below photo was taken ...
While you ponder the photo, let me just say .. I am back! :) Well, I seem to be saying that every other month!! Hmmm... Anyway, after almost a month away from home (and my kitchen) I am back to wearing clothes from the closet rather than the crumpled suitcase stuff. OK! I really can't complain... We spent all that time living in 5 star hotels and luxurious resorts. Still, I am glad to be back on home ground..
The travelogue is due.. I am still sifting through the pile of photos I took during the trip. Meanwhile, I did not want to be absent from my space here. I have not yet gotten into the full swing of cooking, photographing, posting... So, while I am still recovering from the jetlag, I leave you with a dish that I made before I left - Mediterranean Whole Baked Red Snapper.
I found some gorgeous snapper at my seafood store and immediately grabbed one. I love snapper, one of the few fishes I can eat without a fuss! It's mild flavored, cooks easily, can be flavored with pretty much any seasoning and when fresh has a slight sweetness that is quite enticing..
I have a fascination with cooking fish whole. I don't often do it but I love the way it looks on the table (ofcourse ignoring that eye!). For this one, I made a simple Mediterranean influenced marinade with olives, coriander, garlic, capers and olive oil. To make a complete meal of it, I baked the fish with red peppers and red onions. The juices from the fish and marinade flavor the veggies as well making it a nice wholesome meal. I served this fish over lemon rice .

Awesome recipe for the fish dish!
Hmm, was the picture taken at Sydney Harbor?
Man, I love a good snapper! And my Dad's favourite too so mum tries to buy good snapper frm the fishmonger's a lot. This looks yum! Great photos. I really need to go fishing soon. x
Yikes Asha! I am too scared to guess... Sydney Harbour? I know one thing for sure - glad to see you back (which means we can meet up) and that snapper looks divine!
I've never eaten snapper but it's very easy to buy near me so I should try it.
I know what you mean about not getting in the swing after a break, I was like that after the last school holidays, I used up all my material whilst Ted was off and then when he went back to nursery it took me ages to get back into it.
Welcome back holiday girl!! I have the only right answer... that photo is taken in Australia..! Haha.. Sorry... :)
I love red snapper too and this looks like a delicious dish!
Welcome back!And I'm going to guess Port Melbourne?
Lovely dish!
And I would guess that the photo is from Melbourne :P
Welcome back! Can't wait to hear all about your travels! The snapper looks fantastic!
