Days of driving and one entire audiobook later (The Hunger Games if you’re wondering…my literary tastes on the road are way sophisticated) we have finally arrived on the island. Did I forget to mention it’s paradise?
The First Supper

Chili Lime Trout with Arugala, Goat's Cheese & Blackberry Salad
Baked Chili Lime Trout
This meal can be swank or simple depending on your tastes & time constraints. We chose the latter for our first night, since we didn’t have much time and were craving fresh seafood immediately upon our arrival at the shore.
-
1 large trout fillet
-
salt and pepper
-
chili powder, cumin & red pepper flakes
-
good quality salsa
-
1 small onion
-
1 lime
-
olive oil/butter/earth balance
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Rinse and dry 1 large filet of trout. Lay trout out on a piece of tin foil (about double the size of the fish) skin side down. Cover in salt & pepper.
-
Cover fish in chili powder, cumin & red pepper flakes. Then cover with 1/4 cup salsa, massaging evenly over the fish.
-
Top with 1 small yellow onion & 1 lime, sliced into rings.
-
Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil or a few pats of butter/earth balance.
-
Wrap the trout completely in the foil, leaving no gaps for steam to escape. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until fish is fragrant & the centre flakes easily.
Serve with a side of brown rice, freshly steamed asparagus & a side salad.
