Seriously, Red Snapper has to be my favorite fish as of today! It is firm, perfect for roasting, slightly sweet, and does not have that intense fishy smell or taste. It is the fish to impress in my opinion.
Today has been quite rainy in baltimore, a typical pepper soup and “gym in the sheets” type day. Peppersoup was the most viable option, but this salad won the bid.
SS was around, and i wanted to impress :), so i prepared one of the dishes in our catering menu – The Fish Salad. Filling, colorful, and memorable… typical “OyaComeChop” dish. Hahahahaha Yes O! It is okay to toot our horn sometimes.
Anyway, this salad is super healthy. Make it for lunch or a light dinner. Enjoy!
