• Lemon Fish with Sweet Potatoes

    Apart from boiling the potatoes, this is the easiest and fastest dish you would ever make. I need the men to shine at this valentines day dinner with professional chef looking food. This lemon fish and sweet potatoes dish is the best place to start. Although this was crafted for the fit-fam folks, I also think it would work extremely well either way if you are trying to look super fancy with your meal. Slice your potatoes and stack them for special effects. I mean after this, you will feel like you belong on food network lol. If you have been following my blog, you know by now that I always cook with butter, it is just a tastier version of your oil content. If you want to make this extra healthy, you can cook your fish in olive oil or coconut oil or any other healthier oil alternatives. Another tip to bear in mind is instead of peeling your potato before boiling, you can wash it as is and dunk in a pot of hot water. When the potato is cooked, take it out and dunk in a bowl of cold water and it would be easier to peel. Enjoy this simple recipe.

      Very lovely recipe. ‘M so trying this by weekend. Please can the fish be substituted for another, say, titus?

        Technically it can but remember each fish comes with it’s own unique taste so if Titus floats your boat, go for it
