I found a low-carb fish recipe that looked very creamy, rich and delicious. I’m dying to see if I can make it. I only need some fish! So let’s see if we can catch some and cook them up! Click on SHOW MORE for all sorts of info on the equipment and lake, and the recipes!
Recipe for Cauliflower Mash
See my video, "Chicken, Mashers and Gravy (the low-carb way)"
youtu.be/PNYQaspW-aE
INGREDIENTS
1 average-sized head of cauliflower
(in this video I used 16 oz. of frozen florets)
4 ounces of softened cream cheese
4 tablespoons of softened salted butter
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of garlic powder
½ teaspoon of onion powder
¼ to ⅓ cup of grated parmesan cheese
½ cup of shredded sharp cheddar
INSTRUCTIONGS
Break cauliflower into florets. Microwave in loosely covered container for about 10 to 20 minutes until a fork will easily pass through the florets. Lay the cooked florets onto a paper towel and pat them dry. Load them into a food processor and process for a couple of minutes. Add the cream cheese, butter, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, parmesan and cheddar. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Recipe for Baked Fish with Lemon Cream Sauce
Recipe taken from here: recipetineats.com/baked-fish-with-lemon-cream-sauce
INGREDIENTS
(the sauce ingredients are doubled the recipe above)
16 to 24 oz small fish fillets like small largemouth bass
8 tbsp unsalted butter (one stick)
½ cup heavy cream
2 oz. of cream cheese (added as a thickener)
3 garlic cloves, minced (or 2 teas. from a jar)
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp lemon juice
⅓ teaspoon salt
⅓ teaspoon ground pepper
3 Tbsp finely chopped scallions, white part only
Fresh parsley and lemon slices, to serve
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 390° F.
Place fish in one or two (if needed) baking dishes - ensure the fish isn't crammed in too snugly. Sprinkle one side of fish with salt and pepper. (If using bigger thick fish, than do both sides).
Place butter, cream, cream cheese, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a microwave proof jug or bowl. Microwave in 2 x 30 sec bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Keep the sauce warm!
Sprinkle fish with chopped scallion, then pour over some of the sauce.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes (a little longer for thicker fish), or until fish is just cooked. Remove from oven and transfer fish to serving plates. Spoon over more sauce, and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges if using.
INFO ON THE EQUIPMENT, THE LAKE AND MORE:
THE LURE: is a 4 inch CrawdadZ in brown / orange. It is attached to a 1/15 ounce Finesse ShroomZ. Both products are made by Z-Man Fishing Products, Inc.
THE BAITCASTING REEL: is a Shimano Calcutta 50B, from about 2004. This model is no longer made.
THE LINE: The baitcasting reel line is SpiderWire, Ultracast, Invisi-Braid in 10 pound test, 2 pound monofilament equivalent.
THE ROD: The baitcasting rod is a Shimano Compre, Model CPC68MC, 6’ 8” fast action, medium power. Suggested lure weight ⅛ to ¼ ounce. Suggested line weight 6 - 12 pound test. Purchased April 2016.
THE LAKE: The lake is called Lake Ketchabigwon (named by native Americans). It is almost 6 acres and is located in NE Ohio. It sits on 37 acres of property. The lake is private.
FISH IN THE LAKE: are largemouth bass, bluegill, white crappie, black crappie, yellow perch, channel catfish, and grass carp.
WHY KEEP SMALL BASS: We had biologists come out and do an electroshock survey of the lake. They found too many small, stunted bass. Their advice was to remove all bass under 12 inches, and to release the bigger ones. This rule is usually the opposite in large public lakes.
LARGEST FISH CAUGHT: The biggest was a grass carp I hooked and managed to beach. It weighed over 30 pounds. Next was a channel cat (accidentally caught while bass fishing) of 10 pounds. The largest crappie was 14¾ inches and weighed 2 LBS and 1 oz. I did not measure the largest bluegill, but it had to be at least 10 inches. Finally, my largest bass was 6¾ pounds caught here at Lake Ketchabigwon.
WHERE TO GET A CAP LIKE MINE: You can get a “Juanelo Bait & Tackle” baseball cap here, inkpixi.com/by-clothing-type/baseball-hats. In fact, you could put your own name on it!
VIDEOGRAPHY: The principal camera is my iPhone 6s Plus on a tripod. I also use an iPhone 5s as a close-up, counter-top camera when cooking. It is mounted on a small tripod. I use a Rhode microphone indoors to help lessen the echo. The video is edited on my MacBook Pro using Final Cut Pro X.
