This fish and coconut dish is fantastic. Eating it makes me think that everything is right with the world Swordfish is one of my favorite fishes to use for this recipe because of its firm texture. It cooks very well in the coconut sauce, but if you prefer, you can use another white fish such as snapper, cod, sea bass or tilapia.

Serve this with nice plain white rice to soak up the delicious sauce. You will find yourself simply gobbling it up. It was completely satisfying.

It was fantastic guys…the coconut and saffron together is a marriage made in heaven and the saffron gives this dish a beautiful color too.

So I decided to make a Potato, Avocado and Shrimp Salad and it was easy and delicious. You can’t go wrong adding avocados to a salad!
This salad is perfect for the hot summer days ahead

This catfish and potato pie is a traditional Colombian dish. Catfish or bagre is a popular fish in Colombia and we cook it in many different ways, this cake being one of them. I prepared it in individual servings this time for a little change as it in normally served in one larger baking dish. Any other type of white fish would work in place of the catfish and you can even add shrimp if you like, which makes for a delicious addition! Read more…
