I recently went out to eat at a new fast food restaurant that specializes in fish, called The Fish Plate. They are on 140 Cedarhurst Avenue, Cedarhurst and they make delicious fish and chips, fish tacos, fish chowder, salads, wraps and fresh grilled fish too.
On a night I want to make fish for my kids, I make this dinner inspired by my new favorite fish restaurant The Fish Plate.
Fish Quesadillas
1 pkg flour or corn tortilla
1 jar salsa (your favorite brand)
1 pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
2 pounds flounder
Cumin powder
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Butter
Season flounder with garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper, (to taste) and sear on a well oiled grill pan for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. Fish may break apart but that is okay.
On one tortilla, spread salsa to cover the whole surface. Take a handful of cheese and spread over the salsa. Place fish over the cheese then cover with another plain tortilla making a sandwich.
On medium heat, melt some butter on a 9 inch sauté pan.
Once butter has melted place tortilla on it and cook for a few minutes on each side and the cheese has melted and the outside is slightly brown.
Slice into wedges like a pizza. Serve with guacamole, sour cream or salsa.
My favorite Mexican guacamole
