Sweet Creamy Goodness

Tomorrow is Friday! So excited it is almost the weekend. I am so excited about this summer because I have a bunch of weddings, bachelorette parties, bridal showers and wedding showers to attend! Nothing is better than going to events that celebrate the union between two people and two families.

Tonight, for dinner I had Fresh Alaskan Halibut with a side of Creamy Cucumber Salad. A perfect light dinner is exactly what I was looking for.

Creamy Cucumber Salad
Serves about 4
Ingredients:
1 cucumber sliced finely
1 small red onion sliced finely
Dash of Olive Oil
Dash of Champagne Vinegar
Fresh lemon juice from half a lemon
Salt
Pepper
2 tablespoons of Sugar
3 Tablespoons of Sour Cream
Handful of Fresh Dill
Directions:
Slice the cucumbers and red onions. Place in a large bowl. Add the sour cream, olive oil, lemon juice and champagne vinegar. Mix well. Finally, add the salt, pepper, sugar and fresh dill. Mix well. Chill for about an hour before serving.

Fresh Alaskan Halibut
Ingredients:
Fresh Alaskan Halibut
1 cup milk
Fresh lemon juice
salt
pepper
Directions:
Clean the fish in cold water. Once rinsed, soak the fish in the milk for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pan to high heat, filled about 1/2 inch with olive oil. Once hot, place the fish into the pan. Keep your eye on the fish, but per side it usually takes about 7 minutes, depending on how high your heat and stove. Once cooked, season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

This was a great combination for dinner. I love halibut because it such a creamy and flaky fish that has almost no fish taste. With the side of the creamy cucumber salad, it made for a perfect dinner.
