Skillet Chicken with Cilantro and Lime

This dish blew my socks off. We had some boneless chicken thighs hanging around in the freezer, and needed a summer Mediterranean type recipe to spice it up. This is so full of flavour, a bit spicy and that wonderful cilantro!  Paired it up with a bit of sliced cucumber and (should have been yogurt but we only had sour cream on hand) to temper the heat a bit. Served on rice.

Grilled Shark with bok choy and skillet potatoes

There isn't really a recipe for this, I just wanted to remember the meal since it was so tasty. And unusual, I suppose. On Saturday, SO went out downtown with a friend and ended up browsing Whole Foods. It's a pretty cool place to look around, if not actually buy anything since it is so expensive. But you can get some products that are hard to find, and arguably the price is worth it to get whole grain, organic, no pesticides, free-range blah blah blah products.  That's how we ended up with two gigantic shark steaks.

Grilled shark with bok choy and skillet potatoes

We've been killing it lately with the cast iron skillet, it's just great for so many things. But potatoes it especially excels at. Golden brown, just plain yummy.  The shark and bok choy we both did on the bbq. The fish was oiled up just a tiny bit and lots of freshly ground salt and pepper. The bok choy was tossed with a bit of oil and I sprinkled a random Epicure spice on it. One of those spice blends with a strange name - maybe it was "Canadian" or something like that. Then it was into a cooking basket. The shark was done slightly more than medium, and the veggies were grilled al dente with a bit of char.  The steaks were so huge, we both only ate half of our portion, so the rest we ended up putting in a fish soup the next day.  That was also just great!

Next time: maybe try a different veggie, and go with smaller portions of fish
