Cultivating a New Chef

My partner finally cracked open the fish and seafood recipe book  given to her last year of critically acclaimed Chef Roy Yamaguchi. Wow! So far, I am beside myself in given the taste testing role (well, reality does hit when it's time for me to do the dishes, but I'm not complaining here).

Two nights ago, the recipe for Lemongrass & Cilantro-crusted Ehu with Sweet Black Rice & Mango set my first impression in taste bud stone.  Delicious flavors blended together into slightly tart-sweet tropical taste of heaven.

I have to set one thing straight, though.  This is Roy's recipe.  However, my partner has a knack for substituting ingredients for what is readily available.  While the recipe called for a snapper, I wish I could remember what whitefish was used in this dish.  Also, I believe she added a bit more coconut in the black rice recipe for what I can imagine that we're on an island and just love that tropical taste!  All in all, two thumbs up and a smile for this dish.
