Sauteed Trout with Garlic-Chive Compound Butter

The beauty of this butter is you can make it anything you want. Why not try limes and chiles, lemon and mint, rosemary, thyme and sage? Anything goes when you are in the kitchen. Use needle-nosed tweezers to remove all the bones from the trout.

Whip up this quick and easy fish dip in your food processor, but I love this as an appetizer in the summer. Pair it with a sweeter wine before dinner, like one of Michael David Winery’s white wines. Enjoy surrounded by friends and family!

Yellowtail (or any fish) with Spicy Tomato Sauce

Yellowtail often gets confused with yellowfin tuna. Even though yellowtail tuna is called a tuna, its not actually a tuna. Confusing right? It is a member of the jack fish family. It still contains your healthy Omega-3’s, but also has vitamin A and D as well as calcium and protein. So eat up!
