Coalfish

This meal came about for two main reasons - the good looking filets of coalfish on sale at the supermarket and the desire to (re)create a dish similar to one I recently had at a restaurant...

Ingredients:
- 2 filets of coalfish
- bacon
- 150 g (1/3 lb) mixed mushrooms
- sambal oelek
- 1 dL (~ 1/2 cup) cream
couscous:
- 1 dL (~ 1/2 cup) couscous
- 2 dL (~1 cup) water
- salt
- ground coriander
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered
salad:
- lettuce
- sun dried tomatoes
- cucumber
- roasted pistachios

The salad was prepared first, then the couscous by pouring boiling water on couscous mixed with salt and ground coriander, then letting stand covered till the water was absorbed after which the onion and cherry tomatoes were stirred in.

In a pan, bacon in smaller pieces was fried, then added filets of coalfish. When the coalfish were done they were removed from the pan. To the pan was added the mushrooms together with the cream and as much sambal oelek as was on the tip of a butter knife. After a few minutes this was deemed a sauce.

Delicious - and quite similar to the restaurant dish I was aiming for!
