It turned out fantastic and was really easy to make. I did sides of amaranth (our favorite grainy side dish that has forever replaced rice) and steamed green beans from a frozen Trader Joe's bag. For those of you who haven't tried amaranth, I highly recommend it. It tastes nutty and has a consistency similar to cream of wheat. It is prepared similarly to rice - start with cold water and bring it to a boil with the grain in the pot, simmer for 20 minutes. It's so yummy! I also discovered you can pop it just like popcorn. You can add it to salad dressing or have it for breakfast. The Aztecs used it to make beer. You can add it to bread or cookies. It's really healthy too - high in iron and protein, it has three times the calcium of milk.

Pan-Glazed Fish with Citrus and Soy
I've been missing fish in my diet and I needed an opportunity to check out Santa Monica Seafood in the new location. I headed out to gape in awe at the selection of fresh fish, bread, and *oysters* at the oyster bar at this unique so-cal fish store. I chose a nice oily black cod for the dish tonight. The recipe was initially given to me by my family but I also found it online at epicurious.com
