Poached cod with a red pepper butter, simple, satisfying and something I have been making for years and years and years.
Farfalle soup for those sick days, except this one was 'fused' it has kombu.
Whole fried 'mullet' with mystery greens, yet these were not the oh so mysterious ones and an appreciated reader informed me what the other ones were - chrysanthemum, or 'tong ho' - thanks [eating club]vancouver!

Mercy......that fish looks perfect. I'll eat fish for breakfast anytime.
Gorgeous...a work of art! Love, love, love the colors.
oooh...red pepper butter sounds pretty right on!
I love the mystery greens.
Is mullet one the "oily" fish? I've never had it- thought it was a hairstyle.... :)
Forgot- great looking presentation!
micky-t: I have to agree!
harmony: thanks so much harmony you make my day!
tavolini: chinatown is good for anything 'mystery' thats for sure.
buff: Mullet are not oily and they are those fish you see jumping in the surf(ocean)whenever a larger fish is in the area - as for oily you might be thinking of Mackerel
The cod looks amazing. Great looking sauce.
Um, my food never looks that pretty. I don't have the time. But good counts, right?
You are in fish heaven! That cod looks divine!
red pepper butter? Mmmm, damn that sounds good!
I bet the cod dish would be great with tuna as well. So pretty!
lisaiscooking: thanks - it is a nice light sauce that is heavy with flavor
marjie: its like doing card tricks - it doesnt take any time and its all sleight of hand
anette: total fish heaven -
dawn: damn, dawn is right!
jill: I would have to do a different sauce with tuna - some kind of wasabi thing....
Oooo beautiful, beautiful fillet of cod... jump into my open mouth... NOW!
Hmm, did that sound wrong? =X
Nice! Poached fish is so underrated!
Where do you get your cod?
jesse: that sounds perfectly fine by me..but you know me.....
ulla: I am afraid to say for fear that there is some cod committee out there...I want to say its 'grass fed' but you would see right through that one....
That poached cod looks devine. Also the crust on the fried mullet... Nice and crisp! Yum!
The cod looks perfectly flaky and sounds wonderful with the red pepper butter - very nice!
You weren't kidding ... it is a fishy week! That poached fish and sauce look divine, doggy. And, I'm wishing I had some of that soup right this minute.
Feeling better?
jenn: I could eat fired fish everyday and it would be like my first time....
five star: cod takes seconds to cook - any longer and those flakes fall apart....
diva: there is still one more coming...
I almost forgot ... the chrysanthemum ... how did they taste? Spicy? Bitter? I'm curious.
They all look wonderful but the cod in the butter sauce with the lime has me, yum!
it all looks great, but I am with Maggie, I want the cod!
diva: spicy and bitter but not in a bad way
TBD: hot water and a little lime and its poached
maggie: my vote all the way
snugs: long time favorite, I have been poaching cod since I was 18...why does that make sense? It doesnt.
speaking of fish. I'm getting fishing fever... I'm hoping the weather will warm up soon and the crappie will start spawning! They're the best!
I want that soup right now!
oh baby, I want some of that soup!!!!
delightful!
Anything called mullet is cool with us.
I want it all! If not, I'll be content with a bowl of that red pepper butter.
