Fish for health

Why bank on supplements for essential fatty acids like omega 3 when you can have them included in your diet?
Research prove that fish, especially saltwater fish, is high in omega 3 fatty acids, which are heart-friendly, and a regular diet of fish is highly recommended by nutritionists.


Modern day convenience offers you cleaned and readily available fish and fish products. Yet, i always preferred buying fresh. 
This morning i bought some sardine to try it out with the new sherry wine sauce i made.
sardines because of its bones, are not very popular on a plate.
But if you are the one who enjoys deboning fish on your plate then try this.


Pan seared Sardine with corn kernels and shanghai tips


Ingredients 


1 sardine (about 10cm long), cleaned off the head.
2g garlic paste/ a pinch or 2 if using granulated garlic
Oil to marinate and to sear the fish
seasonings
50g corn kernels 
10g tomato finely diced
2-3 shanghai tips


Preparation


toss the corn kernels and shanghai tips with chopped tomatoes in butter, add seasoning.
clean and marinate the fish with garlic, oil and seasonings.
sear the fish till golden brown on both sides and crisp.
i would recommend using a nonstick pan to avoid fish from sticking into the pan.
serve the fish with the kernels and shanghai tips.
you can also add a slice of lime while serving,


i was more interested in my sherry wine sauce going with it.
i wont be sharing the recipe of the sauce in here. But wouldn't mind mailing it to you.
