Fresh fish

I am married to a fisherman. That means a lot of tasks left to the wayside during fishing season. It also means a lot of fresh fish for dinner. On Saturday he caught a 4 1/2 pound largemouth bass, and we didn't have an opportunity to cook it up until tonight. It was delicious.

DH prepared it by filleting the fish and placing in a foil-lined pan, and made a sauce of mayonaise, soy sauce, and garlic. He covered the fish and placed in the oven set at 375 for about 20 minutes.

To go with our fish, I made a rice pilaf. It's quite simple and delicious, so I make it a lot. For some reason, I can't imagine anything as a side dish with fish besides rice.

Rice Pilaf

2 T butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups rice
salt
pepper
3 cups chicken stock
handful of frozen peas
2-3 T pine nuts

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter on medium. Add the chopped onion. Once the onion begins to become translucent, add the rice and stir on the stove for one minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes. When the rice is cooked, add the frozen peas. The heat from the rice will warm the peas quickly, so there is no need to place over heat. Add the pine nuts, to taste.
