Ingredients

1 ½ cups dry bread crumbs
1 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning
salt to taste
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 ½ pounds red snapper fillets, bones removed
vegetable oil as needed

Directions

Combine bread crumbs, Cajun seasoning, and salt in a bowl. Beat buttermilk and eggs together in a separate bowl. Place flour in a third bowl. Dredge 1 snapper fillet in flour; shake off excess. Dip into buttermilk mixture; lift up so excess drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Place breaded snapper fillet, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining snapper fillets.
Heat about 1/8 inch oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Lower snapper fillets carefully into hot oil in batches if necessary; cook until fillets easily flake with a fork and are nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Chef Salad for One

I love to have a big chef salad for dinner, sometimes, and there are enough ingredients to make a full plate! This recipe serves one, but you can easily multiply it for more servings. These ingredients and quantities are perfect for me, but if you don't like an ingredient, leave it out. If you love bacon, have more! Customize to your or your family's delight. I call this salad a "composed" salad, where the ingredients are placed around the plate, and all the colors are showcased. You can toss it, if you prefer. It's delicious with ranch dressing, but it would also be very tasty with blue cheese dressing.

Pork Sinigang

Sinigang is a Filipino soup cooked with pork. Serve with rice and for additional sauce, use soy or fish sauce. If you want to, you can add what Filipinos call gabi gabi, which is a small taro root. When peeled they look like potatoes. You can add five to six of them when you add the water and make sure they are cooked through. Take them out when they are cooked because they can get too soft.

Braised Balsamic Chicken

This chicken is good with either rice or pasta. Green beans make a nice side dish.

Garlic Butter Steak Bites With Mushrooms

These garlic butter steak bites with mushrooms are marinated for just a short while, then quickly seared in a skillet. Combined with sauteed mushrooms, onions, and garlic butter, they can easily be an appetizer or a main course.

Peach Quinoa Salad

This peach quinoa salad is a lively version of spinach salad, using fresh summer peaches, quinoa, pecans, feta cheese, and a simple honey-Dijon vinaigrette.
