Pan Seared Rock Fish with Tomato, Zucchini and Olive Relish

While talking to my sister the other week she had mentioned that she made rock fish for a few friends of hers. She roasted a whole rock fish with olives, fennel, tomatoes and said everyone loved it! Even her friends that didn't like olives couldn't get enough. This sounded like a delicious meal so I decided to try something similar. This was a weeknight meal for me so I needed it to be quick and easy. I've never cooked a whole fish before so I chose a rock fish filet instead. It was a delicious meal that was light yet filling. The flavors of the olives, zucchini, tomato and the heat from the jalapeno complimented the fish really well. I'd like to try this combo with shrimp as well. This was a great summer meal!

Sage and Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken

Man oh man! I think I blinked and June was over! I've had some seriously busy weeks lately and when I've cooked I haven't had the time to photograph anything. On top of my busy schedule I've been in a serious food rut! My mind would just draw a blank when I would think of what I wanted to eat/cook-- until yesterday! I drew some food inspiration from a recipe I saw and per my usual made it my way! It was delicious! I love the flavors of fall and that's exactly what I got from this dish. It was very quick and easy. The look of the sage under the prosciutto is very elegant that this is a great meal to keep in your back pocket when you need to impress someone!
